Today, The Queer Face of War is published in the United States and globally. Here's how to order.
As debates over democracy, human rights, and authoritarianism intensify worldwide, Ukraine has become a frontline—not only militarily, but ideologically.
This book documents how queer Ukrainians experienced Russia’s invasion, and how homophobia was deliberately weaponized as part of that war. It also shows something else: how visibility, even under fire, becomes a form of resistance.
The book arrives at a precarious moment. As the war enters its fourth year. Russia’s hitting Ukraine harder than ever, international attention has drifted, and conservative politicians in Ukraine are making a push to reverse public support for same-sex partnerships. The people in these pages are still in danger and fighting for their rights, while we’re fighting for own democracy in the US. These stories matter even more now than when I first heard them.
