Beschreibung
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 and
learn 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 the
ultimate 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 with
little-known facts and accompanied by
bright illustrative portraits from the hugely talented Charlotte MacMillan-Scott.
This
witty, unique celebration of queer history promises to
inspire and empower readers with its wealth of bright stars.
