Mark Gevisser, author of The Pink Line Six years in the making, The Pink Line by Mark Gevisser follows individuals from nine countries to tell the story of how “LGBT rights” became one of the world’s new human rights frontiers. From refugees in South Africa to activists in Egypt, transgender women in Russia and transitioning teens in the American MidWest, The Pink Line folds intimate and deeply affecting stories of individuals, families and communities into a definitive account of how the world has changed, so dramatically, in just a decade.
Gevisser’s previous books include the award-winning Thabo Mbeki: A Dream Deferred. He writes frequently for Guardian, The New York Times, Granta, and many other publications.
