The Queer Issue IV

June 2013

This month we celebrate LGBT writing from around the world with the fourth installment of our annual Queer Issue. In two timely essays, Dmitry Kuzmin exposes the roots of recent anti–gay propaganda laws in Russia and Quentin Girard observes the protests against gay marriage in France. We also feature an excerpt from Tatiana Niculescu Bran’s The Confession, the basis for the award-winning Romanian film Beyond the Hills. India’s Vaishali Raode takes us into the world of Mumbai’s hijra community, and Taiwanese poet Jing Xianghai looks through photos from an old relationship. And we present fiction from Jordan’s Fadi Zaghmout, Cuba’s Anna Lidia Vega Serova, Slovenia’s Suzana Tratnik, and Austria’s Josef Winkler.
