Queer, There, and Everywhere
Author: Sarah Prader
Publisher: HarperCollins
Synopsis:
This book is a nonfiction book about 23 famous people throughout history who either identified as or might have identified (because there were no words to describe what they were yet) as LGBTQIA+. These include people such as Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay politician to be elected to the government, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who probably was not straight.
My thoughts:
Because June is Pride Month, I decided to review a book about LGBTQIA+ people throughout history. Some of them I hadn't heard of, but others (such as Eleanor Roosevelt) I was surprised to see in the book. I think the reason that people don't often know that some famous people they thought were straight and/or cisgender were not was because you learn about these people in school but they go ahead and let you assume that they were/are straight and/or cisgender.
I think this book was very educational and everyone should read it!
Rating: 5/5 stars!
