Sinopse

In this kaleidoscope of stories, we embark on a journey through the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, exploring the rich tapestry of their experiences. From ancient civilizations to the modern era, we uncover forgotten narratives and celebrate the triumphs of those who paved the way for equality.

Delving into the depths of love, relationships, and family, we honor the diverse ways in which LGBTQ+ people find connection and build communities. We navigate the complexities of social and political landscapes, examining the progress made and the challenges that remain. From the fight for marriage equality to the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights around the world, we witness the resilience and determination of activists and advocates.

Furthermore, we explore the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ identities, shedding light on the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ people of color, LGBTQ+ people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. We examine the impact of religion and spirituality on LGBTQ+ lives, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities for creating inclusive and welcoming faith communities.

Looking ahead, we envision a future where LGBTQ+ people are celebrated and respected, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We consider the role of technology, policy changes, and allyship in creating a more just and equitable society. Through these stories and insights, we aim to deepen understanding, foster empathy, and inspire action toward a world where everyone can live authentically and freely.

This book is a tribute to the resilience and vibrancy of LGBTQ+ communities, a call to action for continued progress, and a celebration of the kaleidoscope of stories that make up the LGBTQ+ experience.

Born With Teeth

'"O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!"

And so was I, which plainly signified

That I should snarl and bite, play the dog.'

Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.
When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose…
An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons. The play was first performed in Houston, Texas, in 2022, where it won several major awards.
