Total copies: 2
This diverse, global account explores the most important moments, movements, and phenomena - from the first known lesbian love poetry of Sappho to Kinsey's modern sexuality studies - and features biographies of key figures from Anne Lister to Audre Lorde. The LGBTQ History Book celebrates the victories and untold triumphs of LGBTQ people throughout history, such as the Stonewall Riots and first gender affirmation surgeries. The book also includes major cultural cornerstones - the secret language of Polari, Black and Latine ballroom culture, and the many flags of the community - and the history of LGBTQ spaces, from 18th-century "molly houses" to modern "gaybourhoods".
