EVENT ALERT🌛🌜 WED OCT 16 @ 7PM 🌞🌜🌝🌛 Today, the options and freedoms on offer to LGBTQ+ people living in the West are greater than ever before. But is same-sex marriage, improved media visibility and corporate endorsement all it’s cracked up to be? At what cost does this acceptance come? And who is getting left behind, particularly in parts of the world where LGBTQ+ rights aren’t so advanced? Combining intrepid journalism with her own personal experience, Amelia Abraham searches for the answers to these urgent challenges, as well as the broader question of what it means to be queer in 2019. With curiosity, good humour and disarming openness, Amelia takes the reader on a thought-provoking and entertaining journey. Join her as she cries at the first same-sex marriage in Britain, loses herself in the world’s biggest drag convention in L.A., marches at Pride parades across Europe, visits both a transgender model agency and the Anti-Violence Project in New York to understand the extremes of trans life today, parties in the clubs of Turkey’s underground LGBTQ+ scene, and meets a genderless family in progressive Stockholm. A beautifully written, personal, intimate voyage into what it is to be queer. Incredibly eloquent, empathetic and passionate, this book will not just resonate with a new generation of queer people, but with all those who seek to be their allies. A brilliant book Owen Jones, author of Chavs and The Establishment I loved Queer Intentions! Absolutely fascinating and endlessly entertaining, but so much more than that. It’s also an important read that will resonate with anyone who’s spent more than a minute thinking about gender and sexuality and what it means to identify as queer in 2019, or who’s ever wondered where we go from here SJ Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep An intersectional and insightful journey through the vast nuances of the queer experience Munroe Bergdorf #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #queer Look who popped in last week having just landed in London to start off her UK tour! It's the fabulous @michelleteaz who graciously signed copies of #againstmemoir and #blackwave 💅 grab a copy before they go! Love this pic by @_natashadevon of @sarah_tanat_jones 👌at the launch of Queer Heroes last week #davidbowie ... At launch of a book of #queerheroes at @housmans_books this evening. Was admiring this #Bowie portrait by @sarah_tanat_jones when woman comes up and says ‘I love him more than you. I even have a Bowie necklace’. I must be maturing because I said ‘let’s not argue, Bowie wouldn’t have wanted it’ instead of ‘hold my beer while I get my tatts out’. #lgbtq🌈 #Repost from @russell_warfield ... packed @housmans_books for @jj_bola on masculinity. especially as a new father raising a boy, this was a really timely, thoughtful and emotionally generous talk ❤️ 🔥🔥 Books are here for our event next week with @jj_bola 🔥🔥 MASK OFF: Masculinity Redefined is an urgent call to unravel and redefine masculinity.
