About this eBook
“A dignified tapestry of trailblazing pioneers who have contributed to the gay liberation movement . . . A significant educational and motivational tribute.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred reviews
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.

I just got this book yesterday from Barnes and Nobles, and so far I've enjoyed the first couple of stories in the book.
