Yesterday we presented our book Utrechtenaren, een queer geschiedenis (Utrechtenaren, a queer history). It is now available in bookstores and you can order it online from the publisher, WBOOKS.
Maurice van Lieshout, Marijke Huisman and Evert van der Veen compiled the book. They show how people who did not adhere to the dominant sexuality and gender norms conquered their place in Utrecht society. Read the stories of chalk carrier Gilles van Baaden, lesbian icon Sylvia Bodnár and transgender artist Dirkje Kuik. The authors connect these personal stories with the development of the Dutch queer emancipation movement.
