"Rainbow History Class" with Hannah McElhinney

Join us this International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination at Sandringham Library to hear from Hannah McElhinney, author of "Rainbow History Class", your entry into LGBTQ+ history, sharing queer and trans stories from Ancient civilisations all the way up to the internet.

So much of queer and trans history and culture has been erased, but Hannah is here to help us all with this crash course. This history lesson isn’t dry and academic, nor is it glitter-soaked and reductive. It’s a comprehensive and entertaining romp through queer and trans history, full of secret queer codes, gender-bending icons, pop-culture knowledge and incredible activists.
