'This book should be of great interest to anyone who follows issues related to the control of same-sex havior and identity through legal, social, and policy means. This engrossing book allows the reader to contemplate some of the shifts ... and what future changes might be anticipated in countries around the world. It would be a welcome addition to any bookshelf for the lessons it teaches us about the importance of appreciating and understanding the effects of culture on both social control of behavior and social change.'
