Join the GLBT Historical Society for an evening with author Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins discussing their new book, Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and How to Love Yourself, a celebration of queer voices in the media and beyond. With a foreword by Latrice Royale of RuPaul’s Drag Race and HBO’s We’re Here fame, the book delivers an honest look at how Higgins and others who are often overlooked in the world have come to understand their identities, and the important role Black, Fat, Femme predecessors like Andre Leon Talley, Miss Lawrence and Ms. J have played in helping people like us learn what’s possible.
The book and Dr. Higgins’ talk explores the representation of marginalized people, and why Black Fat Femme people are so often left out and erased from LGBTQ+ conversations.
