Synopsis

THE BOOK OF PRIDE captures the true story of the gay rights movement from the 1960s to the present, through richly detailed, stunning interviews with the leaders, activists, and ordinary people who witnessed the movement and made it happen. These individuals fought battles both personal and political, often without the support of family or friends, frequently under the threat of violence and persecution. By shining a light on these remarkable stories of bravery and determination, THE BOOK OF PRIDE not only honors an important chapter in American history, but also empowers young people today (both LGBTQ and straight) to discover their own courage in order to create positive change. Furthermore, it serves a critically important role in ensuring the history of the LGBTQ movement can never be erased, inspiring us to resist all forms of oppression with ferocity, community, and, most importantly, pride.

The book needs to be read (or this audiobook needs to be listened to) and be shared. Mason Funk started with......more

Goodreads review by Devann on May 15, 2019

I received an ARC copy of this book from Edelweiss This was such a moving book. I was basically just crying on and off all throughout reading this, but I would say in a 'good' way most of the time. Obviously everything is not perfect for LGBTQ people even today, but it's just absolutely incredible to......more

Goodreads review by Jai on February 11, 2020

I’m so thankful and proud. This book makes me so proud to be an openly queer woman. I listened to all of these stories from LGBTQ pioneers that made me realize the serious sacrifices that were made. It wasn’t just white people but black,Latino and Asian who paved the way for us. All of these people......more
