20 years ago, it was impossible to imagine the president of the USA embracing same-sex marriage or Bruce Jenner transitioning to Caitlyn Jenner, an openly transgender woman. LGBTQ Stats chronicles the ongoing LGBTQ revolution providing critical statistics and drawing upon and synthesizing newly collected data. Deschamps and Singer - whose previous books and films on LGBTQ topics have won numerous awards and found audiences around the globe - provide chapters on family and marriage, workplace discrimination, education, youth, criminal justice, and immigration as well as evolving policies and laws affecting LGBTQ communities. A chapter on LGBTQ life around the globe contrasts the dramatic progress for LGBTQ people in the United States with violent backlash in countries such as Russia, Iran, and Nigeria which have discriminatory laws that make same-sex activity punishable by prison or death. A lively, accessible, and eye-opening snapshot, LGBTQ Stats offers an invaluable resource for activists, journalists, lawmakers, and general readers who want the facts and figures on LGBTQ lives in the twenty-first century. Paperback, The New Press, 2017.
