Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 In June 2013, President Barack Obama spoke about gay marriage during a press conference in Senegal. He said that the laws of America were catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in their hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.
#2 In December 2008, the Senegalese government hosted a pan-African AIDS conference. The new label was men who have sex with men: this formed a prominent part of the conference program, as did Senegal's own MSM organization.
#3 In 2013, the Ukrainian government was debating whether or not to continue their application to the European Union, or to join Vladimir Putin's new Eurasian customs union. This was the year that Putin took aim at the EU and its eastward spread, by claiming to protect the traditional values of Orthodox Slavic society against a decadent secular West.
#4 In response to the West's normalization of homosexuality, Russia passed its federal law for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values. This unleashed a wave of violent aggression against queer people in Ukraine, and there was a push to not talk about LGBT rights in Ukraine for fear of playing into the hands of the opposition.
