This will be a great LGBTQIA+ reference book for years to come.' Peter Tatchell - Human Rights CampaignerA 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.SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK DESIGN AND PRODUCTION AWARDS 2023Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 160mmAuthor: Lewis LaneyIllustrator: Charlotte MacMillan-ScottContributor: Charlotte MacMillan-Scott (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Society & Culture, LGBTQ+, Gender Sex & Relationships, BiographyItem Weight: 2.1 poundsgISBN-10: 0711273707Type: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
