Book Description

Amazon.com Review
Outstanding Lives is a book of photographic portraits and short essays about 70 contemporary gay men and lesbians. Ranging from political figures such as Roberta Achtenberg, the first openly gay person to be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate (she was Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity) to Rudolf Nureyev, one of the world's greatest ballet dancers, the people highlighted in this book attest to the tremendous variety of contributions gay and lesbian people are making to the world today. This will be a fun resource or coffee- table book either for people who need to be introduced to gay and lesbian culture or for the queer household that wants to wander through a scrapbook of "the family."
