Collections of essays from queer activists. As with any collection, some of the essays were better than others, while some I skipped completely. However, it paints a really good picture of the current state of the LGBTQ+ community and how it's still prosecuted around the world. I feel that most people are inclined to think that we're experiencing a period of queer liberation, but this book challenges that and shows how we still need to fight.

This book is structured very well focussing on 6 key themes. I enjoyed the different perspectives from across the spectrum of queer over the world. It doesn't feel narrow at all.
I recommend this for anyone in the community, their allies or anyone wanting to better educate themselves.

This is a great collection of essays from LGBTQ+ people about issues across the world that queer people face. My absolute favourite essays were about trans people in the UK media (Juliet Jacques), living openly with HIV (Mykki Blanco), being queer and single (Amrou Al-Kadhi - who's introduction to their essay is the funniest paragraph I've ever read and I am now getting their book), and intersex rights (Hanne Gaby Odiele).
This collection is impressively broad and covers pretty much the whole spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities, including perspectives from different countries.
