Named one of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 by School Library Journal Queer history didn't start with Stonewall. This book explores how LGBTQ people have always been a part of our national identity, contributing to the country and culture for over 400 years. It is crucial for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth to know their history. But this history is not easy to find since it's rarely taught in schools or commemorated in other ways. A Queer History of the United States for Young People corrects this and demonstrates that LGBTQ people have long been vital to shaping our understanding of what America is today. Through engrossing narratives, letters, drawings, poems, and more, the book encourages young readers, of all identities, to feel pride at the accomplishments of the LGBTQ people who came before them and to use history as a guide to the future. The stories he shares include those of * Indigenous tribes who embraced same-sex relationships and a multiplicity of gender identities.* Emily Dickinson, brilliant nineteenth-century poet who wrote about her desire for women.
* Gladys Bentley, Harlem blues singer who challenged restrictive cross-dressing laws in the 1920s.
* Bayard Rustin, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s close friend, civil rights organizer, and an openly gay man.
* Sylvia Rivera, cofounder of STAR, the first transgender activist group in the US in 1970.
* Kiyoshi Kuromiya, civil rights and antiwar activist who fought for people living with AIDS.
* Jamie Nabozny, activist who took his LGBTQ school bullying case to the Supreme Court.
* Aidan DeStefano, teen who brought a federal court case for trans-inclusive bathroom policies.
* And many more With over 60 illustrations and photos, a glossary, and a corresponding curriculum, A Queer History of the United States for Young People will be vital for teachers who want to introduce a new perspective to America's story.

Finally found the perfect backpack!
Color: Apricot, Size: 17.3 Inch
I’ve been searching for a backpack that could fit my 16-inch laptop and my other uni stuff since i commute, without looking huge on me, I’m a small girl, so most big backpacks just look bulky and awkward. I wanted something slim and sleek, not one of those backpacks that stick out and have that “belly” shape.
After a lot of searching, I finally found this one, and I absolutely love it! The material feels really high quality, and the design is just perfect. I got the 17-inch size, and it fits my 16-inch laptop comfortably.
There are so many pockets for organization, plus a separate padded compartment just for the laptop, which I really appreciate. It also has a handle that easily slides over my suitcase handle, which is so convenient for traveling (I travel a lot, so this feature was a must).
It’s comfortable to wear, the straps are adjustable, there are bottle holders on both sides, and overall it just looks clean and stylish. i got the beige color one. which i love.
I’m really happy with this purchase it has everything I was looking for. I’ll attach a short video showing all the pockets and features because it honestly deserves it!

Perfect and not bulky
Color: Apricot, Size: 17.3 Inch
Love this slim backpack, plenty of room for my laptop and so much more. Lots of zipper and mesh pockets. I like the separate compartments for the laptop. It’s well designed and very functional. I wanted something that was not bulky and this fit the bill, it’s really great. The material is nice and easy to keep clean. Seems well made, I’ll update down the road if that changes. I recommend this backpack.

Perfect work travel bag!
Color: Black, Size: 14 Inch
Perfect work bag! I was looking for something for a petite frame. Can fit a lot in it, worth the money, love all of the pockets. Can carry two ways - either with handles or wear on back like a backpack

Perfect backpack to use as a purse
Color: Champagne Brown, Size: 14 Inch, Color: Champagne Brown, Size: 14 Inch
I LOVE THIS BACKPACK! It's perfect as an EDC backpack used in lieu as a purse. It's small enough to use daily and to keep basic necessities in. It has a main compartment, a basic compartment for a laptop or iPad, and a small front pocket. There is a small area that closes with a snap where the handle comes out of that can be used for storage as well. I like to keep my sunglasses or vape in it. I like to wear a backpack when shopping, it makes it easier to have my hands and arms free and I also don't have to worry about my purse in a cart and someone dipping into it when I'm not looking. While I like to wear a backpack, I don't need an ACTUAL backpack used to carry large objects and this fits the bill. I'm able to fit my wallet, phone, 10" iPad, journal, tech kit, small makeup bag, keys, glasses, gum, coin purse, misc. pouch in it and it still has room at the top. The quality is excellent, as all Golf Bags are. The color is a beautiful neutral medium taupe (I got the light brown/cappuccino? color) but I would love this bag in black, blue, and beige! The blue color is such a pretty blue!
