Gro�britannien
Das Mutterland der modernen Demokratie hat eine �hnlich zwiesp�ltige Geschichte hinsichtlich Homosexualit�t wie Deutschland: Aus einem Land, das restriktiv und hart Schwule verfolgte, wurde nicht nur ein sicherer Hafen, sondern eine Bastion lesbisch-schwuler Emanzipation ? trotz oder gerade wegen der letztlich vergeblichen Anstrengungen der Regierung Thatcher in den 80er und 90er Jahren, Homosexualit�t gesellschaftlich zu �chten. Wie kaum ein anderes Land hat Gro�britannien ein Erbe schwuler Literatur, die als Weltliteratur wahrgenommen wird ? von mittlerweile kanonisierten Autoren wie Oscar Wilde und E. M. Forster bis hin zu Gegenwartsautoren wie Patrick Gale und Alan Hollinghurst.
