Rainbow Wales: Queer Icons Past and Present

By Emily Garside

Emily Garside leads an inspiring tour through the queer icons who have shaped Welsh history and culture.

Who are the queer figures, past and present, who have made and continue to make Welsh history? Discover the diverse array of LGBTQ+ figures influencing Wales--and the world--in this exploration of the household names and hidden icons who have shaped their fields and driven queer representation forward.

From Jan Morris to Ivor Novello, Kenneth Williams to Callum Scott Howells, Jess Fishlock to Lauren Price, via Terrence Higgins, The Vivienne, and Owain Wyn Evans, Welsh people have marked the breadth and variety of queer achievement.

Rainbow Wales is an exciting guide of figures from culture and sport to politics and activism, and a jubilant exploration of the rich tapestry of queer identity in Wales.
