Klappentext
'A fascinating, whistle-stop tour of LGBTQIA+ icons and allies from across the globe and throughout history... This will be a great LGBTQIA+ reference book for years to come.' Peter Tatchell - Human Rights Campaigner
A fun and fascinating compendium of LGBTQ+ icons, one for every day of the year, and a celebration of queer history -- or as RuPaul would say; Herstory!
Discover your queer hero andlearn something new every day with 365 Gays of the Year , an accessible and fun introduction to LGBTQ+ history through the people that made it.
Carefully curated and thoughtfully researched, author Lewis Laney assigns a person or group of note to each day of the year to form theultimate LGBTQ+ hall of fame.
Legendary queer icons such as Marsha P Johnson and Freddie Mercury sit alongside lesser known but equally important names such as activist Renée Cafiero , blood donor Barbara Vick , and Sappho the lesbian poet (who was doing her thing in 570BC).
All have contributed amazing achievements to the LGBTQ+ story. Each month also features one ally - inspiring heterosexual people who have all contributed something significant to the lives of the LGBTQ+ community. People like Elizabeth Taylor who "brought AIDS out of the closet and into the ballroom -- where there was money to be raised".
Each entry comprises a short biography plus a brief explanation about why that celebratory date represents an important milestone.
Lewis brings international figures to life (famous and lesser-known) with his witty and uplifting prose which are peppered withlittle-known facts and accompanied bybright illustrative portraits from the hugely talented Charlotte MacMillan-Scott.
This witty, unique celebration of queer history promises toinspire and empower readers with its wealth of bright stars.
