About this book

GLOBAL LGBT+ EQUALITY – SLOVAKIA'S STORY

In his groundbreaking book GaYme Changer: How the LGBT+ community and their allies are changing the global community, Jens Schadendorf described a revolution: in less than a decade, gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and queer people in the West and some other parts of the world broke free from their long history of marginalization, stigmatization, and criminalization to become the ultimate champions of creativity, diversity, and innovation.

Now, in this shorter work, Schadendorf looks at Slovakia, where LGBT+ people and their supporters face political and religious attitudes that can fuel hate speech, discrimination, and even, recently, murderous violence.

But there is also hope, with campaigning organizations, individuals, and companies bravely leading the way. Even in the face of hostility, what applies elsewhere in the world applies here too: letting LGBT+ people develop into dynamic forces is a benefit to both business and society. It is economically right, and it is socially and ethically the right thing to do.

"…GaYme Changer is a must-read in these times of growing uncertainty and polarization. I am thrilled that in GaYme Changers in Slovakia, we can now read new, comprehensive, and insightful backgrounds and stories on my country."Matej Ftá?nik, Co-Founder and CEO, Vacuumlabs, Bratislava
