Jack Guinness: The Queer Bible, Gebunden

Blurb

An O, 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 Bible is a celebration of LGBTQ+ history and culture, edited by model, performer, and GQ contributing 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 heroes pay homage to those who helped pave their paths.
Contributors include Vogue columnist 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 essays paired with stunning illustrations.

The Queer Bible is 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.
