"The young readers' LGBTQIA+ dictionary of lingo and colloquial phrases."-front cover.
Summary:
"A young readers' adaptation of The Queens' English (Clarkson Potter, 2021), a nonfiction illustrated reference guide to the LGBTQ+ 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 'zaddy', the history of the word 'queer"', and the wonderfully diverse, wide ranging histories that have contributed to LGBTQ+ 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, and enby who has shaped the history, identity, and limitless imagination of queerness"--Provided by publisher.
