| Summary | "Spanning the globe and thousands of years, Queer Mythology highlights the legends and tales of LGBTQIA+ gods, heroes, spirits and more. Myths and legends tell our stories. They connect us and show us not only who we are, but also reflect the people during the time the stories were first told. And LGBTQIA+ people have been a part of every community since the dawn of storytelling. From Tu'er Shen, the Chinese rabbit god who protected those who felt a love that was not accepted in the world, to Ghede Nibo, the Haitian spirit who performed drag on the runways in the realm of the dead, the twenty myths told in this collection capture one irrefutable fact -- even as labels, language, and definitions have changed, LGBTQIA+ people have always existed. Some of these myths are not widely known. Others are myths that you may think you know, but over time the inherent queerness has been erased. Queer Mythology offers fresh retellings, paired with beautiful illustrations, to give new life and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ representation in some of humanity's earliest tales"-- |
