"The Queens' English was created by and for gays, queers, queens, and everyone in between : LGBTQIA+ folks of all walks of life, gender expressions, sexual identities, abilities, and beyond. It is a landmark reference guide to the LGBTQIA+ community's contributions to the English language. This playful, inventive lingo has had major influence on everything from pop culture to key moments in intersectional queer history like the Harlem Renaissance, Stonewall, ACT UP, Marriage Equality, and the globalization of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Queens' English is packed with information : an illustrated glossary of more than 800 terms and fabulous phrases, usage notes for understanding the origin and appropriate use for each term, history lessons, real-life examples, and a list of resources for LGBTQIA+ folks."-- Provided by publisher.
