This book makes the case for why the United States should embrace "gay reparations," or policies intended to make amends for a history of discrimination, stigmatization, and violence against the LGBT community.

Their collective experience shows that although there is no universal approach to gay reparations, it is never too late for countries to seek to right past wrongs.
