Читать книгу Pride & Joy - Kathleen Archambeau - Страница 3

“As a producer and literary rep, I have long been committed to inclusion and diversity regarding gender, race, and sexual orientation. My co-authored book, Dating Your Character, focuses on helping writers create multi-dimensional, non-stereotypical characters as Kathleen has shown in real-life stories in this extraordinary book. I’m delighted to endorse Pride & Joy: LGBTQ Artists, Icons and Everyday Heroes,

as it spotlights queer luminaries living open, fulfilling,

happy and successful lives—a departure from many

LGBTQ portrayals.”

“Kathleen Archambeau wrote a regular column of inspiring profiles for one of the longest-running and largest LGBTQ newspapers in the country, the San Francisco Bay Times. We’re proud to have been her first public forum. Her book, Pride & Joy: LGBTQ Artists, Icons and Everyday Heroes, tells the in-depth stories of 30 global queer icons and is sure to embolden the next generation and give hope to those still struggling with their sexual and gender identity.”

“Pride & Joy: LGBTQ Artists, Icons and Everyday Heroes not only highlights the contributions of LGBT citizens to world culture, but shows young queer students that being openly gay can bring you happiness, fulfillment and success. The impact it will have on our next generation, as well as on all those who care about social justice, will be significant.”
