Book Description
Hundreds of inspirational, humorous, and provocative quotations about being queer
What is a queer quote? It"s a reflection on love and romance, culture and art, family and friends, and the foibles and follies of life. It"s an insight into not only
what it means to be gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender in our society, but what it means to be human. It"s fresh, entertaining, and celebratory.
Queer Quotes is a compendium of wit and wisdom from well-known historical and contemporary cultural
figures—from Oscar Wilde to Rita Mae Brown, from Quentin Crisp to Sandra Bernhardt, from James Baldwin to RuPaul. Often amusing, the quotes are also thought-provoking and up-to-date, and chapters ranging from "Love and Gay Marriage" to "Out of the
Closets, into the Streets" to "HIV/AIDS" to "Queer History" reflect this book"s scope. Including an index as well as short biographies of all the individuals quoted, Queer Quotes is a wonderful resource and an ideal gift book.
