(16)pp. Inspired by the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay, and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation, Gay Myths records twenty-five bigoted and homophobic misconceptions about LGBTQ+ individuals. Among these—#1: We Deserve AIDS, #8: It’s Just A Phase, #13: We Have No History—are scattered images of individuals of a multitude of races and from a variety of historical eras. Some appear in pairs, such as two black women in Victorian dress and two white men in Colonial tricorns, while others are solo, such as a soldier and a teacher. The imagery legitimizes the sustained history of the LGBTQ+ community in the face of continual oppression and disbelief, denoting that as long as there have been queer people (and there always have been), there has also been their disenfranchisement. The book’s covers mark this terrible confluence by a pink triangle affixed to the front. Adopted by the Nazis to mark homosexuals in concentration camps, the icon was reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community in the 1970s as a symbol of pride. Fine in black wrappers. Stamped "Min. Book Soc." on colophon page. Robert E. Massmann's copy, with his book label to inside front cover. (1 3/4 by 3; 45x78mm).
