The funny and fascinating series features an ensemble cast of entirely LGBTQ+ actors who portray nearly 200 historical figures, with each episode culminating in an original song and music video, created and performed by queer artists including Betty Who and VINCINT. The series will be narrated by LGBTQ+ icons including comedian and actress Margaret Cho and others to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout the centuries, LGBTQ+ stories have been kept under wraps for far too long,&#8221; said Howard Lee, President of TLC Streaming and Network Originals. &#8220;THE BOOK OF QUEER will shine a surprising light on queer history that will make heads spin.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2932714046\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>THE BOOK OF QUEER highlights some of history&#8217;s most world-changing heroes, whose stories and contributions have been erased, marginalized or straightwashed throughout the years.
