This young readers adaptation of The Queens? English is a nonfiction illustrated reference guide to the LGBTQIA community?s contributions to the English language. This playful, richly illustrated visual dictionary is the perfect book for anyone who has ever wondered about the origin of phrases like ?boi,? ?drag,? or ?demisexual,? the history of the word ?queer,? and the wonderfully diverse, wide-ranging histories that have contributed to LGBTQIA culture and vocabulary. Drawing from traditions as divergent as the ancient poet Sappho to the underground ball scene of the 1980s, from the Stonewall Riots to RuPaul?s Drag Race, this glossary is a colorful compendium?and a celebration of every king, queen, butch, femme, trans, folx, and enby who has shaped the history, identity, and limitless imagination of queerness.
