50 Incredible LGBTQ+ is the new book by Débora Thomé, author of 50 Incredible Brazilian Women to Know Before You Grow Up, which presents fifty figures from the LGBTQ+ community and their inspiring stories of life, career, and success.
Created by Débora Thomé, 50 Incredible LGBTQ+ People presents an overview of artists, singers, actors, writers, and personalities in the LGBTQ+ community, ranging from soccer player Marta to Pabllo Vittar to Angela Ro Ro. Powerful and thought-provoking, the book, by portraying the weaknesses, difficulties, and obstacles in each person's journey, becomes a true inspiration for boys and girls everywhere, proving that believing in your dreams and in yourself is, indeed, always, the right path to follow.
Cássia Eller knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist—whether a circus juggler or a ballerina. She ended up finding her way through music, becoming one of Brazil's greatest singers. João do Rio, black, overweight, and gay, simply wanted to do what seemed most obvious to him: be an observer and narrator of Rio's streets. Caio Fernando Abreu, with his sun in Virgo, Scorpio ascendant, and moon in Capricorn, was passionate about life. And Marielle lived and died fighting.
This book showcases the lives of people who chose to be happy and live by their own rules, fighting against prejudice and the rules of a society that stubbornly tried to prevent them from being who they are. The strength needed not only to break down barriers, but to go further and carry the banner of an entire generation of people whose voices were once silenced.
Real stories from real people, 50 incredible LGBTQ+ people is a work that brings together the biographies of great Brazilian LGBTQ+ figures, along with incredible illustrations, all also created by LGBTQ+ artists. A dose of encouragement and courage capable of instilling in everyone, without exception, an untamable desire for freedom.
