This book is colorful and bright, full of short, accessible blurbs on the history of LGBTQ+ people and its movements throughout history and around the world. While many of the tidbits in the book are just that – a small bit about a person or event, each is well worth reading as a starter course and jumping off point for further study. I learned a lot while reading this book. And it was fun! Infographics help with some of the information.Modern biographies help merge the history with the now. The book doesn’t shirk from the uglier parts of history, but it also shines with hope and moving forward. I appreciated its multi-ethnic and world view approach. Book includes a glossary of terms, an index, and a list of further resources. This would be an excellent addition to a middle school or high school library.
