Queer Around the World: a list inspired by Guest Privileges
Mohamed
On Thursday 4th April we invite you to what we're sure will be a joyfully warm conversation about belonging, assumptions and finding home elsewhere. Gaar Adams' book Guest Privileges is an unforgettable kaleidoscope of stories of queer lives in the Gulf States, prompted by the author's experience of moving there.
You can read more about this wonderfully generous, honest book HERE.
Inspired by Guest Privileges, we gathered a list of books offering insights into queer experiences around the world, demonstrating how every place and time shapes the constraints and possibilities of our lives in unexpected ways, challenging preconceptions.
