The Children of Harvey Milk

Andrew Reynolds, Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Founded and directs the UNC LGBTQ Representation and Rights Research Initiative, the leading global think tank focused on LGBTQ politics. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, New Statesman, and widely online. His twelve non-fiction books range from African politics to the Arab Spring, elections to the future of democracy. For twenty-five years he has been an advisor on democratic design in the worldâs most dangerous places. From South Africa to Somalia, Afghanistan to Libya, Burma to Ukraine, and many others.

In a labor of impressive scholarship, Reynolds ... demonstrates that LGBTQ individuals serving openly in the political realm have been the major instigators of this change. He makes his point in a collection of historical, exciting, and moving stories ... Highly recommended.
