QUEERS &
CIVILIZATION: How Sexual Diversity Enlivens, Enriches, and Elevates Society by
Byron Kennard is an eye-opening, thoughtful, and engaging book that will,
undoubtedly, change the way most people look at queers — gay men, lesbians,
omnisexuals, transgender people, and others. As the sub-title indicates, the
book is a brilliant illustration of how sexual diversity enlivens, enriches,
and elevates society. In this book, the author explores the contribution that
queers have made to human civilization. It clearly examines the importance of
diversity in human culture and sexuality and readers will enjoy reading about
things like the importance of being different, encountering some of the queers
in history, and what they accomplished, including the three pinnacles of queer
culture — Joan of Arc as a transgendered person, William Shakespeare as a
'Two-Spirit' person, and Abraham Lincoln as a “Two-Spirit” person and
shaman.
In Byron Kennard’s book, readers are challenged to rethink
diversity as part of the intrinsic character of nature and the universe, a
trait that enriches —always — and that invites humankind to see the unique and
different “other” as important and valuable as any can be. This is a
well-researched book with surprising finds for readers and it is interesting to
notice how detailed Kennard’s writing becomes when examining the works of queer
people who have shaped history and civilization through their singular works
and accomplishments. Some of the great names that are featured in this book
will include Alexander the Great, Malcolm X, Sylvia Rivera, and Marsha P.
Johnson. Queers have shaped the course of history, ignited cultural
revolutions, and brought about trends that have enriched the history of
humanity. This book is a work of genius, and it articulates not only a bold
idea but a timeless truth; extensively researched and delivered in gorgeous
prose and a voice that is as authoritative as it is compassionate. QUEERS & CIVILIZATION: How Sexual
Diversity Enlivens, Enriches, and Elevates Society re-affirms a
reality that is written into the very heart of nature — we only grow as much as
we accept and live with diversity.
