The book also includes rare vignettes of LGBTQ leaders in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean who continue to fight for equality in spite of threats, violence, and homophobia.

“This engrossing, beautifully moving book is a brilliant reminder of how individuals can become the catalyst for enormous changes in our lives particularly in the arena of the family created before but personified by Harvey Milk. This is a story of inspiration, hard politics, tough decisions, and sacrifices and a commitment to change the world in which LGBT+ people live and lived.”
LORD MICHAEL CASHMAN
Author of One of Them: From Albert Square to Parliament Square
“Offering a much-needed survey of the current LGBTQ political landscape, Reynolds tells the stories of the politicians and activists who have come after Milk... Demonstrating a real gift for storytelling, he allows the personal as well as the professional aspects of his subjects’ lives to shine through.”
