Synopsis
This young readers adaptation of The Queens&’ English is a nonfiction illustrated reference guide to the LGBTQIA+ community&’s contributions to the English language.This playful, richly illustrated visual dictionary is the perfect book for anyone who has ever wondered about the origin of phrases like &“boi,&” &“drag,&” or &“demisexual,&” the history of the word &“queer,&” and the wonderfully diverse, wide-ranging histories that have contributed to LGBTQIA+ culture and vocabulary. Drawing from traditions as divergent as the ancient poet Sappho to the underground ball scene of the 1980s, from the Stonewall Riots to RuPaul&’s Drag Race, this glossary is a colorful compendium—and a celebration of every king, queen, butch, femme, trans, folx, and enby who has shaped the history, identity, and limitless imagination of queerness.
