Queer Intentions: A (Personal) Journey Through LGBTQ + Culture

This book explores the myths and realities of life for LGBTQ+ people worldwide.

Today, LGBTQ+ people in the West have greater options and freedoms than ever. But is same-sex marriage, improved media visibility, and corporate endorsement enough? What are the costs of acceptance? Who is left behind, especially in parts of the world with less advanced LGBTQ+ rights?

Author Amelia Abraham combines journalism with her personal experience to engage the broader question of what it means to be queer today. Join her as she experiences the first same-sex marriage in Britain, attends the world’s biggest drag convention in L.A., marches at Pride parades across Europe, visits transgender model agencies and the Anti-Violence Project in New York, parties in Turkey’s underground LGBTQ+ scene, and meets a genderless family in progressive Stockholm.
