Despre The Queer Bible carte
AnO, The Oprah MagazineLGBTQ Book "Changing the Literary Landscape"
A gorgeously illustrated collection of essays written by today’s queer heroes—featuring contributions from Elton John, Tan France, Gus Kenworthy, Paris Lees, Russell Tovey, Munroe Bergdorf, and many others.The Queer Bibleis a celebration of LGBTQ+ history and culture, edited by model, performer, andGQcontributing editor Jack Guinness.
Our queer heroes write about theirs.
In 2016, model and queer activist Jack Guinness decided that the LGBTQ+ community desperately needed to be reminded of its long and glorious history of stardom—and he was spurred to action. The following year, QueerBible.com was born, an online community devoted to celebrating queer heroes, both past and present. “So much queer history is hidden or erased,” says Guinness. “The Queer Bibleis a home for all those personal stories and histories.”
In this book, contemporary queer icons pay homage to those who helped pave their paths. Contributors includeVoguecolumnist Paris Lees (writing on Edward Enninful), singer and songwriter Elton John (writing on Divine),comedian Mae Martin (writing on Tim Curry),author Joseph Cassara (writing on Pedro Almodóvar), and many others, honoring timeless queer icons such as Susan Sontag, David Bowie, Sylvester, RuPaul, and George Michael through illuminating essayspaired with stunning illustrations.
The Queer Bibleis a powerful and intimate essay collection of gratitude, and an essential, enduring love letter to the queer community.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Now we praise their names.
