There has never been a better collection of quotes about pride--from around the world, throughout history, and from a variety of people from all walks of life. From Mayor Pete to Walt Whitman and Anaïs Nin; from Dolly Parton, Lena Waithe, and Tan France to Marsha P. Johnson, David Jay, and Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin (and activists from Taiwan, Palestine, the Philippines, Belgium, Uganda, India, and more), this is an amazing compendium of quoted material on everything from personal pride to global struggle, and a perfect gift for anyone who wants to learn about and celebrate pride, whether it's this month or any time throughout the year.

Warning: This book was written before JK Rowling showed herself as a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist so there is a quote by her in this book. It was also written before Eliot Page came out as transgender so it uses his dead name.
Other than those two things I think it is a great book, although 60 % of it is the bibliography and author's references and notes, so the book is not quite as long as you may think.
