It’s a rare and refreshing moment for the queer coffee table book collector (your reporter included): As New York City prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion by hosting World Pride this June, an array of titles celebrating the L.G.B.T.Q. community’s history, art and culture are suddenly on offer. “We Are Everywhere: Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation” (Ten Speed Press, $40), the tallest of the titles, ironically began as a pocket-sized project: the Instagram account @lgbt_history. In print, this translates to an impassioned photographic tour of an ever-changing, increasingly vocal and insistently resilient L.G.B.T.Q. community and culture, from 19th-century ideology to contemporary conversations around intersectionality.
