"This extensive cross-cultural examination of the global struggle for LGBTQ+ rights illustrates the distinctive complexities that each nation's political, cultural, and media context provides. Many of the countries addressed in this collection have not received much western scholarly attention, which makes this edited book even more valuable for scholars and activists who seek to understand the roadblocks that continue to hinder the push for universal LGBTQ+ rights and recognition." Rhonda Gibson, Professor, UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"This is a profound and global exploration of LGBTQIA+ activism that braids together a volume of perspectives to illustrate the unique complexities of activism across countries and cultures while amplifying the work of many activists, scholars, and allies. Such a collection can transform how LGBTQIA+ activism is represented, acknowledged, and experienced while also providing pathways for strengthening human rights around the world." Avery E. Holton, Chair of the Department of Communication, Student Media Advisor and Co-Research Coordinator, Center for Excellence in ELSI Research (CEER), University of Utah
"This is an essential volume on the transformative role of queer activism online that is direly needed at this particular moment when LGBTQ+ rights are under imminent threat. This work is strengthened by its global approach that provides a synthesis of activism across the world, including in countries often neglected in academic work." Gina M. Masullo, Associate Professor, School of Journalism and Media, Associate Director, Center for Media Engagement, The University of Texas at Austin
"This volume is an important collection focusing on LGBTQ protest mechanisms and advocacy from around the world. With chapters on Queer youth advocacy in China and Moroccan queerness to LGBTQ+ families in Argentina and a digital rave space founded in Toronto and more, this text brings new and critical insights about how activists are navigating these spaces through traditional and digital media." Laura Castañeda, Professor of Professional Practice, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
"Finally, a collection of strong voices focused on LGBTQ activism internationally. As I travel around the world and hear struggles from young people, I hope to point to this collection to embolden them and help find ways for more equitable solutions. It is beautifully written with diverse voices and perspectives. It provides insight into ways we can all work together to make a real difference." Todd Felts, Associate Professor, The Reynolds School, University of Nevada, Reno, International Leadership Trainer
"This is an important collection in response to a time when LGBTQ people's mere existence is being criminalized around the globe (e.g., undercutting trans folks' access to health care and sports, "Don't Say Gay" bills, banning drag performance, etc.). Through the transnational and intersectional lenses, this book generates extensive original knowledge and in-depth analyses on how different stakeholders approach LGBTQ activism in various global and regional political contexts as well as the digital sphere. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, activists, advocates, media practitioners, educators, and beyond." Minjie Li, Assistant Professor, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
"This volume is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the rapidly changing practices of LGBTQ+ activism in the digital era. Taken together, the chapters provide a truly global insight into how digital and social media platforms facilitate new forms of advocacy and action, shaped by global, national and local political contexts. Drawing on a diverse range of cases and methodological approaches, the volume makes a significant contribution to advancing knowledge beyond dominant Anglo-American contexts."
