Discover the rich and complex history of LGBTQ+ people around the world--their struggles, triumphs, and cultural contributions. Exploring and explaining the most important ideas and events in LGBTQ+ history and culture, this book showcases the breadth of the LGBTQ+ experience. This diverse, global account explores the most important moments, movements, and phenomena, from the first known lesbian love poetry of Sappho to the Kinseys' modern sexuality studies, and features biographies of key figures from Anne Lister to Allen Ginsberg. 'El libro de historia LGBTQ+' celebrates the victories and untold triumphs of LGBTQ+ people throughout history, such as the Stonewall Riots and first transgender surgeries, as well as commemorating moments of tragedy and persecution, from the Renaissance Italian "Night Police" to the 20th century "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. The book also includes major cultural cornerstones--the secret language of polari, Black and Latinx ballroom culture, and the many flags of the community--and the history of LGBTQ+ spaces, from 18th-century "molly houses" to modern "gayborhoods." Using the "Grandes ideas" series' trademark combination of authoritative, accessible text and bold graphics, The LGBTQ+ History Book celebrates the long, proud--and often hidden--history of LGBTQ+ people, cultures, and places from around the world.
