Gay Friday: Queere Menschen, die die Welt veränderten

Category: News – Darkstar – 12:30

Queer There and EverywhereWorld history has been made by countless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals—and you’ve never heard of many of them

Sarah Prager hat ein Sachbuch veröffentlicht, in dem sie queere Menschen vorstellt, die in der Weltgeschichte größere und kleinere Rollen eingenommen haben.

Queer, There, and Everywhere: 23 People who changed the world zielt hauptsächlich auf jugendliche Leser ab, ich bin aber schon gespannt, was ich noch alles Neues daraus erfahre.

Der Verlag über das Buch:

This first-ever LGBTQ history book for young adults will appeal to fans of fun, empowering pop-culture books

World history has been made by countless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals—and you’ve never heard of many of them. Queer author and activist Sarah Prager delves deep into the lives of 22 people who fought, created, and loved on their own terms. From high-profile figures like Abraham Lincoln and Eleanor Roosevelt to the trailblazing gender-ambiguous Queen of Sweden and a bisexual blues singer who didn’t make it into your history books, these astonishing true stories uncover a rich queer heritage that encompasses every culture, in every era.

By turns hilarious and inspiring, the beautifully illustrated Queer, There, and Everywhere is for anyone who wants the real story of the queer rights movement.

Auf Goodreads schreibt die Reviewerin Emily May:

An interesting, accessible, wonderful history book. It offers short biographies on twenty-three queer people throughout history, and serves as a reminder that gay, bi, trans, genderqueer, nonconforming, intersex, asexual and others all have long, beautiful, difficult histories. From Ancient Rome to modern day San Francisco, a single resounding cry echoes through the millennia: You are not alone.
