5.0

Thank you to Netgalley, Tea Uglow, and to White Lion Publishing for my free electronic copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

Loud and Proud is a collection of some of the most powerful, impactful words ever spoken on the subjects of queer life, queer liberation, and queer activism, from speakers who are now household names, to some who I, a gay man who feels passionately about queer activism and queer visibility, had not heard of.

The book is presented beautifully, with striking colour palettes for the photos of speakers, and a wonderful introduction section before each speech, detailing a little about the life of the speaker, and the context for their speech.

I have been reading a few speeches a day over the course of a week or so, and thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful read for anyone who has a passion or even just an interest in queer liberation and activism. A lovely, lovely book.
