This illustrated compendium celebrates LGBTQIA+ history and culture, written by and according to culture icon Justin Elizabeth Sayre! Based on Sayre' s eponymous five-part show in New York City, From Gay to Z is a humorous collection of the rich legacy of gay culture, told through the letters of the alphabet. From ABBA to addiction, hair and makeup to HIV, Fannie Flagg to fierce, Sayre offers their own perspective on the things that have influenced gay culture today, including iconic figures, historical moments, ongoing issues in the LGBTQIA+ community, and everything in between. As gay culture is always evolving and different for everyone, this book does not serve as a definitive guide - instead, Sayre encourages readers to use this knowledge to reflect on the things that have informed their personal identities. Engagingly written and beautifully designed, From Gay to Z is a distinctive and dynamic look at gay culture for LGBTQIA+ readers everywhere.
"In this rowdy celebration of queer culture, comedian and playwright Sayre (Husky) "throw[s] a little shade and make[s] a little joy" with a delicious "who' s who of the LGBTQ+. " Offering cheeky illustrations alongside a brisk and breezy cultural history, the guide-which focuses on "artists and activists who are gay, or have a gay following"-entertains and educates in equal measure. "- Publishers Weekly
