We Are Everywhere: Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation

"We Are Everywhere" by Matthew Riemer and Leighton Brown is a rich and sweeping photographic history of the Queer Liberation Movement. Through the lenses of protest, power, and pride, this book serves as an essential and empowering introduction to the history of the fight for queer liberation. Combining exhaustively researched narrative with meticulously curated photographs, it traces queer activism from its roots in late-nineteenth-century Europe—long before the pivotal Stonewall Riots of 1969—to the gender warriors leading the charge today. Featuring more than 300 images from over seventy photographers and twenty archives, this inclusive and intersectional book enables readers to truly see queer history like never before, with glimpses of activism in the decades preceding and following Stonewall, family life, marches, protests, celebrations, mourning, and Pride. By challenging many of the assumptions that dominate mainstream LGBTQ+ history, "We Are Everywhere" shows readers how they can—and must—honor the queer past in order to shape our liberated future.
