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 found this book uplifting and quite moving. The stories give important insights into the struggles, the hopes, the commitments, and achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community. These stories also serve as lessons of continuing to fight to good fight for rights and equality for all in these times of hateful attacks by the right wing. The message is Stay Strong and Keep on Keeping on.

We should never forget what our community did prior to the 90s to get the rights that some to most of us enjoy and laid the ground work to continue the fight. Making sure that no one puts our community back into the closet. It has helped me to realize we still need to heal our community and not exclude its members.

History is important

Really enjoyed listening to this book. Growing up in the 90s, I felt like I didn't have a great perspective of the trial and tribulations of my forebears who paved the way for equality that I now enjoy. This book satisfied this need! Each short story felt like I was sitting down and having a short informal conversation with the protagonist. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a perspective of LGBTQ history.

Amazing stories of those who made the world better
