SIMON GAGE / LISA RICHARDS / HOWARD WILMOT
With plenty of color photos, graphics, best-of lists and miniprofiles of celebrities, plus a foreword by Boy George, 'Queer' is a lighthearted celebration of gay and lesbian culture, especially of the last three decades. Edited by freelance writer Lisa Richard, former Boyz magazine editor Simon Gage and journalist Howard Wilmot, the book includes a survey of the gayest cities in the world, a retrospective of gay and lesbian contributions to entertainment and fashion (from drag kings to Versace) and spotlights of activists and icons, all in a busy, slick package that will remind readers of their favorite glossy magazines.
