Queer Icons From Gay to ZQueer Icons From Gay to Z

"Celebrate 80 LGBTQ+ legends who give us life! It's been a long time coming. After an eternity spent in the closets and on the fringes, queer icons around the world and across history are receiving the recognition they deserve. These pages pay tribute to LGBTQ+ activists, artists, comedians, writers, musicians, Olympic gold medalists, philosophers, poets, drag queens and more. These icons have championed civil rights, radically increased visibility, and offered release through their soul-affirming artistry. Studded throughout this rainbow alphabet are moments of queer history--like the pivotal Stonewall Riots, why there are new and diverse pride flags, and growing LGBTQ+ visibility in the worlds of entertainment, sports and beyond."--Back cover.
