Pride: An Inspirational History of the LGBTQ+ Movement

(3) YA This history of the struggle for LGBTQ+ civil rights (originally published in the UK) begins in antiquity and progresses through Magnus Hirschfeld's groundbreaking 1900s research, to the seminal Stonewall Riots in 1969 and the civil rights victories of the present day. Sidebars profiling noteworthy people, including Anne Lister, Oscar Wilde, Marsha P. Johnson, and Matthew Shepard dot the chapters, along with testimonials from LGBTQ+ youth about "Why I Have Pride." Line drawings and rainbow colors make the retro design pop. The emphasis on international current affairs will broaden American readers' perspectives. The book concludes with a timeline, glossary, index, and a list of resources (PFLAG, the Trevor Project, etc.) for queer and questioning youth.
