Queer Heroes: Meet 53 Lgbtq Heroes from Past and Present!
by Arabelle Sicardi
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review via Net Galley. This does not affect my opinions. All opinions are my own!
I appreciated the inclusion of diverse, international, historical and current LGBTQ+ icons. But, it felt like this book just stopped at LGBT and didn't dive into other current and historical queer icons.on the queer spectrum. I would've liked to see pansexual, asexual and non-binary queer heroes like Brendon Urie and Sam Smith included in this non-fiction collection. Also, just one trans man included? As a trans guy that put me off. I was waiting until the last 10 pages to get a trans man included for my own representation. I appreciated the illustrations of each person mentioned, the illustrations were stunning and I liked how they just added a short biography of important information. I'm grateful to have taken a LGBTQ+ History class in college, so I was already aware of some of the figures in this book. But, glad to have learned about new ones as well.
