內容簡介

◎世界上最酷的一群人！一網打盡推動LGBTQ(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer)運動的五十位重要人物！

同志運動對我們的生活風格、科學、音樂、藝術、文化都有很大的影響，最早可追溯到二十世紀初，以德國為起源，往歐美其他國家擴散，台灣的同志運動在一九八五年展開，二零零三年台灣舉辦第一屆同志遊行，是華人社會的同志遊行先驅，二零一六、一七年因為婚姻平權相關法案效應，聲勢創下新高峰。

性別議題一直是受到密切關注的話題，因傳統價值、宗教信仰等等因素也受到不小的反彈，歷史上有許多先鋒不顧反對聲浪，勇敢站出來為自己、或者同志朋友們發聲。

本書即是介紹五十位歐美歷史上有名的「酷兒」以及他們的支持者，有知名作家伍爾芙、藝術家安迪‧沃荷、知名主持人艾倫‧狄珍妮等等，書中將會簡單介紹這些人物生平，以及他們和同志運動的關係，搭配插畫，讓讀者更了解「酷兒」的世界。

LGBT people are some of the coolest in history – Freddie Mercury, Divine, Virginia Woolf, Marlene Dietrich, Andy Warhol... the list goes on. Queer subculture has had an enormous impact on style, music, science, art and literature. From Oscar Wilde, who defended his homosexual relationships in court, to Rupaul acting as an ambassador for drag on network television, queer people have fought to express their identities and make a difference. This book will celebrate the lives, work, and unique perspectives of the icons who changed the world. Featuring beautifully illustrated portraits and profiles, 50 Queers Who Changed the World is a tribute to some of the most inspirational people of all time
