What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Woodgate’s bold and realistic full-color illustrations skillfully convey people, places, and times while reflecting the racial, ethnic, and gender diversity of the LGBTQ+ community…An acutely distilled and vibrant compilation of LGBTQ+ heroes.” —Kirkus Reviews”…intersectionality develops into a strong secondary theme as racial as well as identity prejudice gets frequent mention in the poems and in the biographical notes that accompany each…the tone overall is positive and, appropropriately enough, proud.” —Booklist
