'"The power of words is in full force in this diverse compilation
of speeches from LGBTQ people who have changed the conversation
and, indeed, the world. A must-have for your queer bookshelf." -
Attitude Magazine"Hopeful and galvanising, the anthology spans a
sprawling 150 years of queer brilliance, and shows us how far we've
come, and what work there still is to be done." - Dazed"Tea Uglow
has created a visually pleasing and emphatic collection that is as
educational as is it easy on the eyes! Whether you leisurely flip
through the pages or devour the entire collection in one sitting,
[Great Queer Speeches] will be a timeless read." - The Nerd
Daily"this anthology reminds us of the power of words when used to
fire the imagination, reassure communities under pressure and drive
us forward to create a better world for ourselves and those who
come after us. These words dream! Recommended." - GScene
magazine"...a fascinating and beautifully presented collection of
inspiring words from some of the most important voices in the
LGBTQ+ community, as well as from a number of our allies. These
speeches - given by visionaries, civil rights activists,
politicians and celebrities from the 1860s to the present day - are
heartfelt, often angry but above all brutally honest, and open up a
window on the unending fight for our rights, for our identity. It's
a book to dip into again and again, and one that belongs on
everyone's bookshelf, no matter how they identify." - Darryl W
