O knihe
For the first time in all of human
history, conditions are such that the world is ready to
receive its first majority Gay Nation-State. Forces are
coming together in a manner never before seen - that enables
the LGBT citizens of the world to rise up and proclaim their
freedom, their liberty and their rightful place in a world,
equal among all nations. As a homage to Theodor Herzl,
Thomas Paine and other visionaries who yearned for freedom,
The Gay State is a proclamation that the world of tomorrow
can be far better than the world we have today.
International political and Gay equality activist Garrett
Graham has created a literary work that has launched a
global movement to end the savage and brutal oppression that
has sought to persecute and indeed exterminate the
Homosexual community. For Graham, his willing dreamers have
become readers, his readers have become believers. The
momentum for Gay independence and Gay nationalism is
spreading around the globe. And now the believers are
coalescing in their "lands of birth" as doers and are
working to form a political structure that will lead to
concrete action to give future generations from every
darkened corner of the globe the freedom and peace the LGBT
citizenry has long been denied. Bishop Desmond Tutu, the
South African Cleric was correct when he emphatically
declared "I am not interested in picking up crumbs of
compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers
himself my master. I want the full menu of rights." Yet
sadly in the United States there is a disgraceful and
systemic policy known as the American Gay Apartheid. Gay men
and womyn are treated as first class taxpayers but as second
class citizens. They receive precious little recognition
from the federal government and in the few places that allow
for "Gay marriage," they are largely "ceremonial" at best.
Conditions are such that Africans in Africa are picketing in
front of a U.S. Embassy to protest the lack of human rights
for Americans inside the U.S.! As pitiful as U.S.
conditions remain for Gay Americans, their Gay brothers and
sisters experience depravation much worse in 95 percent of
the nations on Earth. For the LGBT community, they are
merely tolerated at best and often rooted out for
extermination at worst. Countless numbers in the Gay
community are attacked and maimed and the violence foisted
upon them is rarely worth the ink in a newspaper as the
world turns a blind eye to the inhumanity. Those who have
endured the hatred know this to be true. As long as there
has been humankind there have been Homosexuals. The New
York Times call Graham's accounting of Gay history as
"masterful." In The Gay State Graham outlines the 3,000
years of horrendous and savage abuse foisted on Homosexuals,
almost always and everywhere at the hands of the religious
or carried out by others with the knowing approval of the
most pious. Even in the 21st Century, more than 80 nations
outlaw the very existence of Gays, Graham reports. In a
shocking and blunt fashion, Graham outlines the ongoing
brutality served up by the non-Gay "majority." It is not
just that Gays are hacked at with machetes and set on fire
by unruly mobs, governments around the globe are complicit
in their wholesale extermination. Gays are often sentenced
