For the first time in all of human history, conditions are such that the world is ready to receive its first majority Gay Nation-State. Forces are coming together in a manner never before seen - that enables the LGBT citizens of the world to rise up and proclaim their freedom, their liberty and their rightful place in a world, equal among all nations. As a homage to Theodor Herzl, Thomas Paine and other visionaries who yearned for freedom, The Gay State is a proclamation that the world of tomorrow can be far better than the world we have today. International political and Gay equality activist Garrett Graham has created a literary work that has launched a global movement to end the savage and brutal oppression that has sought to persecute and indeed exterminate the Homosexual community. For Graham, his willing dreamers have become readers, his readers have become believers. The momentum for Gay independence and Gay nationalism is spreading around the globe. And now the believers are coalescing in their "lands of birth" as doers and are working to form a political structure that will lead to concrete action to give future generations from every darkened corner of the globe the freedom and peace the LGBT citizenry has long been denied. Bishop Desmond Tutu, the South African Cleric was correct when he emphatically declared "I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights." Yet sadly in the United States there is a disgraceful and systemic policy known as the American Gay Apartheid. Gay men and womyn are treated as first class taxpayers but as second class citizens. They receive precious little recognition from the federal government and in the few places that allow for "Gay marriage," they are largely "ceremonial" at best. Conditions are such that Africans in Africa are picketing in front of a U.S. Embassy to protest the lack of human rights for Americans inside the U.S.! As pitiful as U.S. conditions remain for Gay Americans, their Gay brothers and sisters experience depravation much worse in 95 percent of the nations on Earth. For the LGBT community, they are merely tolerated at best and often rooted out for extermination at worst. Countless numbers in the Gay community are attacked and maimed and the violence foisted upon them is rarely worth the ink in a newspaper as the world turns a blind eye to the inhumanity. Those who have endured the hatred know this to be true. As long as there has been humankind there have been Homosexuals. The New York Times call Graham's accounting of Gay history as "masterful." In The Gay State Graham outlines the 3,000 years of horrendous and savage abuse foisted on Homosexuals, almost always and everywhere at the hands of the religious or carried out by others with the knowing approval of the most pious. Even in the 21st Century, more than 80 nations outlaw the very existence of Gays, Graham reports. In a shocking and blunt fashion, Graham outlines the ongoing brutality served up by the non-Gay "majority." It is not just that Gays are hacked at with machetes and set on fire by unruly mobs, governments around the globe are complicit in their wholesale extermination. Gays are often sentenced
