Queer Welsh Icons

Who are the queer figures, past and present, who shape Wales? Discover the diverse array of LGBTQ+ figures who have shaped Wales, in a tour of how they shape both their fields and drive forward queer representation.

Embark on a journey that takes us from the Marquis of Anglesey, through the lives of the Ladies of Llangollen, to artist Gwen John, to pioneering writer Jan Morris and playwright Peter Gill. Celebrate queer entertainers from Ivor Novello and H from Steps, to sporting icons from Gareth Thomas to Jess Fishlock. This book takes you on a whirlwind tour from culture and sport to politics and activism, marking the breadth and variety of queer achievement.

Spanning historic milestones of the past to iconic drag queens of the present, Queer Welsh Icons is a jubilant exploration of the rich tapestry of queer identity in Wales.
