| "Transnational LGBT Activism" argues that the idea of LGBT human rights is not predetermined but instead is defined by international activists who establish what and who qualifies for protection. The result is a balanced, empirical response to previous critiques of Western human rights activists—and a clarifying perspective on the nature and practice of global human rights advocacy. Ryan R. Thoreson makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on human rights, on global sexualities and, hence, to the cause of sexual minority rights in the global South.
