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 Ren e Cafiero blood donor Barbara Vick and Sappho the lesbian poet (who was doing her thing in 570 BC). 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 Mac Millan - Scott. This witty unique celebration of queer history promises to inspire and empower readers with its wealth of bright stars.
