⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a brilliant book! This inspirational history of the international LGBTQ+ movement will teach readers to accept and have pride in themselves and others, however they identify.

This is one of the books we have at @theliteracyhubs for the children to read - it’s bright, colourful and easily accessible. Though the topic is heavy at times, dealing with homophobic murder and other crime, it does so cautiously. It is certainly suitable for children, though discretion should be used concerning age.

I learnt so much from this book. Not just about the history behind the LGBTQ+ movement, but about people from across the world who were queer. It was inspiring to read about how people stood up for queer rights, with many giving their life. Without their blood, sweat and tears, I couldn’t marry my girlfriend or hold her hand in public.

This book has made me want to do more for queer people. I’ve decided to start supporting more queer owned businesses - so please fire any recommendations my way. I’ll start using my voice more to stand up for queer rights like those before me have done. I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s a must read for everyone.
