An invitation to the launch of 80 Gays Around the World by Brent Meersman at Bibliophilia.
An explicit, upfront, edgy, often funny, travel adventure; it will leave you seeing the world and yourself with different eyes. Brent Meersman explores gay lives in 18 countries on 6 continents. How have men who find other men sexually attractive survived over the centuries, mostly in places hostile to them?
A young gay man bewildered and lost on the highways of Los Angeles; a sadomasochist Neo-Nazi in Berlin; a rent boy in Shanghai; a holiday romance in Mexico; a man from Dakar in a bathhouse in Paris; a love hotel in Tokyo; a darkroom in Rio; a hamam in Syria; the burning ghats on the Ganges; Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Shinto and atheist; legal and illegal … blazing through 18 countries on six continents, 80 Gays Around the World is an explicit, upfront, edgy, often funny, travel adventure that will leave you seeing the world and yourself with different eyes. How do men sexually attracted to other men live in different parts of the world? How do they see themselves? How have they survived over the centuries, mostly in places hostile to them?
