The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Novel (e-Book)

Grab your crayons and your backpack for a fantastical journey through The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Book, sixty-four pages illustrating twenty-six words that highlight remembered victories and collective moments in LGBTQP (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Pansexual) culture.

The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Book is Jacinta Bunnell's fourth noun in the Queerbook Committee series of coloring books (including Girls Are Not Chicks and Sometimes the Spoon Runs Away with Another Spoon) and the first with acclaimed illustrator Leela Corman (Unterzakhn).

And while some of them are really intelligent (like illustrating a glam person coming out from a Door for Drag), there's also stuff like Flower turns into Femme for no particular reason (the "annotations" are just adding a stem and leaf to the flower and a sun in the sky). I don't get how this is illustrati
