About the book
Anthology of remarkable and rarely told stories of Queensland lives from queer writers spanning almost 80 years of rich and dynamic social histories that are as varied as the landscape itself. Blending fiction, memoir, poetry and images, Queersland brings to light the struggle to survive in a culture that has barely tolerated difference and at times violently suppressed it. Funny, raw, heartbreaking and brave, the stories shine a light on our potential for sex and love beyond the normativities, and ultimately for our evolution to a more compassionate and generous way of being in our world.
