No Way, They Were Gay?

Sorry friends: e-Galley not available for Kindle download.

This is a sample chapter.

"History" sounds really official. Like it's all fact. Like it's definitely what happened. But that's not necessarily true. History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves.

That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Read this sneak peek of No Way, They Were Gay? to begin a fascinating journey of reclamation through primary source materials including letters, interviews, photos, and poems. 

"Such an important book, both enlightening and entertaining. Highly recommended for readers age 10-110!"—Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist

"I think as a teen I might've chosen to major in History if I'd read Lee Wind's fun, fast-paced, and thought-provoking book. I love how it lays out the evidence about some of our past's greatest heroes, invites us to draw our own conclusions, and inspires us, regardless of our sexual orientation or gender identity to be true to who we are."—Alex Sanchez, author of Rainbow Boys and You Brought Me the Ocean

"I can't believe this book hasn't existed until now!! It's a joyful and fascinating read that reminds us that LGBTQ+ people have always existed, thrived and made important contributions to society. No matter what your age, orientation or gender identity, Lee Wind makes you feel like this book was written for you."–Michael D. Cohen, Actor/Writer/Director/Acting Coach
