About this audiobook

THE BOOK OF PRIDE captures the true story of the gay rights movement from the 1960s to the present, through richly detailed, stunning interviews with the leaders, activists, and ordinary people who witnessed the movement and made it happen. These individuals fought battles both personal and political, often without the support of family or friends, frequently under the threat of violence and persecution. By shining a light on these remarkable stories of bravery and determination, THE BOOK OF PRIDE not only honors an important chapter in American history, but also empowers young people today (both LGBTQ and straight) to discover their own courage in order to create positive change. Furthermore, it serves a critically important role in ensuring the history of the LGBTQ movement can never be erased, inspiring us to resist all forms of oppression with ferocity, community, and, most importantly, pride.

Ratings and reviews

I really want to write some stuff from the 2022 perspective... hopefully we of the younger generations continue to want to learn our history and improve upon the rights our elders fought for

I like the narration and how the book is portrayed. It's easy to follow, and I like the stories so far. I'm only about 20 min through the book.

I loved this book and I felt comfort knowing that the world cant be against us forever.
