Our queer heroes write about theirs. When singer Sam Smith erroneously claimed that he was the first “openly gay man to win an Oscar” in 2016, model and queer activist Jack Guinness decided that the LGBTQ+ community desperately needed to be reminded of its long and glorious history of stardom—and he was spurred to action. The following year, QueerBible.com was born, an online community devoted to celebrating queer heroes, both past and present. On QueerBible.com, contemporary queer trailblazers, such as Vogue’s first trans columnist Paris Lees, pay glorious homage to timeless icons like Susan Sontag, George Michael, and Edward Enninful, through illuminating essays paired with stunning illustrations. Here, QueerBible.com comes to life in dazzling book form. Featuring 22 essays by queer celebrities, and gorgeous accompanying illustrations by queer artists, The Queer Bible promises to be the definitive queer essay collection, period.
