Book excerpt: Human rights advocates contend that the LGBT community has yet to achieve full equality and acceptance--in the United States and elsewhere. In recent years in the United States, state legislators have introduced more than 250 bills that limit LGBT rights--and twenty of these have become law. In other parts of the world, it remains shameful to identify as LGBT; in some countries, it is even punishable by death. These and other human rights concerns are examined.
