A fun and fascinating compendium of LGBTQ+ icons, one for every day
of the year, and a celebration of queer history – or as RuPaul
would say; Herstory! 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
Renée Cafiero, blood donor Barbara Vick, and Sappho the lesbian
poet (who was doing her thing in 570BC). 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 MacMillan-Scott. This
witty, unique celebration of queer history promises to inspire and
empower readers with its wealth of bright stars.
