I loved reading this. I kept talking to my teenager and giving her information and stories throughout. She enjoyed listening to them as much as I enjoyed sharing them. Highly recommend this book about PRIDE

It's truly important for students to learn this information, regardless of what other people might say.

This is a must read for people of all ages. I know this is geared towards children, but I thought this was a well written and researched nonfiction book about the LGBTQ+ history. From past to present and how over the years some things have changed and the group has gotten more rights than before, but it is still an on going fight for equality for all.

An excellent book on PRIDE, and I love the broader context in which this book places LGBTQ Pride. If you only read one book on Pride, this should be it. Extremely accessible - written for juvenile and young adult levels, but extremely informative for adult readers too.

I had read, and loved, the original version of this book. And when I saw a new, updated and expanded version available I snapped it up.

This is a really interesting introduction to LGBTQ+ history and the continuing fight for equality. It’s perfect for showing that it’s ok to embrace who they are and great for those interested in learning about the history.

I already knew some of what was covered but it still and interesting read and I liked that it included the real stories and testimonials from around the world.

The pictures were gorgeous. They’re diverse, bright, and colourful.

Pride is an introduction to LGBTQ+ history and current events. It covers everything from what commonly used acronyms mean to the struggle for equality around the world.

The digital copy I had was a bit challenging to view. The formatting seemed off, but the pictures were cheerful and colorful, and the author included positive quotes from well-known figures.

This book may be a good starting point for older children and teens who would like to learn what it means to be queer. It is also a positive resource for teens who need reassurance that it's OK to be different and there are other people like them in the world.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

What I liked about this book, is that it is perfect four younger readers in their teens, or for adults who want to know more about the basics of the LGBTQ history.
As a queer woman, I knew some things already, yet still learned a new fact here and there.
The book is accompanied by beautiful, and diverse, photographs and pictures. Also reading different testimonies from LGBTQ people around the globe, was very interesting.

I quite enjoyed this updated version of Stevenson's book, which includes some great stories about the many celebrations and continued fights for freedom that LGBTQ+ communities have experienced around the world. I truly loved the real-life stories from activists in places such as Indonesia, Uganda, and Peru, since #ownvoices representation is so important. I appreciated that even as an adult reader I learned new facts, and really liked that they were presented in a way that is 100% accessible to younger readers. and really enjoyed getting to see stories from places like. As a Black woman, I also really appreciated how Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Storme DeLarverie were discussed as integral parts of the Stonewall Riot.
The beautiful pictures, “queer facts”, and great emphasis on the importance of intersectionality in activism really make this book enjoyable. I think this book would be a great addition to every middle and upper school classroom/library, as well as a great resource for all adults who want to learn more about activism in and for the LGBTQ+ community.
