(3) YA Illustrated by Eve Lloyd Knight. This book's subtitle sums up the content neatly. To provide context for queer rights today, Lawson traces the history of LGBTQ oppression and resistance, from Victorian-era Germany to the Holocaust to Stonewall and beyond. Topics covered include the AIDS crisis and ACT UP, the New York ballroom scene, Pride celebrations, trans rights, marriage and family equality, queer representation in sports and popular culture, and more. This accessible account offers a wide-ranging discussion of the evolution of LBGTQ activism. Knight's stylized and stylish illustrations introduce each four-page section. Back matter includes a timeline highlighting significant world events from 1867 to 2018, a glossary, and an index.
