About the Archives of the LGBT+ movement.
Consisting of largely unpublished archival material, this book traces the history of the battles and LGBT movements in France.
Based on an extensive documentary investigation, the work presents a rich iconography displayed in chronological sequences: posters, front pages of newspapers and magazines, leaflets, correspondence, photographs…
The author invited approximately twenty important witnesses to comment on a document of their choice. The plurality of the points of views of the contributors, researchers and militants, from various generations, presents the diversity of the various movements gathered under the name LGBT.
