An independent bookshop in Glasgow. An ice creamparlour in Havana, where strawberry is the queerest choice. A cathedralin ruins in Managua, occupied by the underground LGBTQIA+ community. Queer people have always found ways to exist and betogether, and there will always be a need for queer spaces. In this lavishlyillustrated volume, Adam Nathaniel Furman and Joshua Mardell have gatheredtogether a community of contributors to share stories of spaces that range fromthe educational to the institutional to the re-appropriated, and many morebesides. With historic, contemporary and speculative examplesfrom around the world, Queer Spaces recognises LGBTQIA+life past and present as strong, vibrant, vigorous, and worthy ofits own place in history.
