“The power of words is in full force in this diverse compilation of speeches from LGBTQ people who have changed the conversation and, indeed, the world. A must-have for your queer bookshelf.” - Attitude Magazine “Hopeful and galvanising, the anthology spans a sprawling 150 years of queer brilliance, and shows us how far we’ve come, and what work there still is to be done.” - Dazed “Tea Uglow has created a visually pleasing and emphatic collection that is as educational as is it easy on the eyes! Whether you leisurely flip through the pages or devour the entire collection in one sitting, [Great Queer Speeches]
will be a timeless read.” - The Nerd Daily "this anthology reminds us of the power of words when used to fire the imagination, reassure communities under pressure and drive us forward to create a better world for ourselves and those who come after us. These words dream! Recommended.” - GScene magazine “…a fascinating and beautifully presented collection of inspiring words from some of the most important voices in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as from a number of our allies. These speeches - given by visionaries, civil rights activists, politicians and celebrities from the 1860s to the present day – are heartfelt, often angry but above all brutally honest, and open up a window on the unending fight for our rights, for our identity. It’s a book to dip into again and again, and one that belongs on everyone’s bookshelf, no matter how they identify.” - Darryl W Bullock
