As its subtitle suggests, *The LGBT History Book: 100 Years of Struggle by Those Who Never Gave Up* provides a clear and accessible explanation of the century-long movement to restore LGBT rights, written for children and adults alike.

The book covers significant events and symbols such as the pink triangle, the Lavender Scare, the Stonewall Riots, Harvey Milk's assassination, the AIDS crisis, hate crimes, numerous court cases, and the legalization of same-sex marriage.

The 100-year history of the fight for LGBT rights progressed step by step, often with setbacks but also with dramatic leaps forward. It tells the stories of countless "heroes," both famous and unknown, who refused to give up.

History is made by people. Connections between individuals drive history and shape the future.

The book highlights key figures such as Magnus Hirschfeld, a pioneer of civil rights who organized the first gay rights group; Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, who transformed the lesbian social club "Daughters of Bilitis" into a powerful activist organization; Christine Jorgensen, America’s first widely known transgender woman; and Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s first openly gay elected official.

It also covers historical LGBT figures such as General Friedrich von Steuben, Alan Turing, Jane Addams, Bayard Rustin, and others, culminating in the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.

Featuring abundant personal histories, episodes, and a wealth of visual materials, this book is an educational resource for readers of all ages.
