Description

Lesbian lizards, gay giraffes, bisexual red deer and sex-changing clownfish. This colouring book celebrates the diversity of animals and the ways in which our beautiful queer communities exist far beyond the realms of human culture.

So many of us grew up with wildlife programmes and school biology classes that never once mention these aspects of life on Earth. A male meets a female, seduces her with his bright feathers or funky dance and they very quickly mate – and that’s it. The implication has always been that that the whole point of life is to make little baby animals and there is nothing in the great natural world that might challenge the cis-het norms of biologists.

This entertaining and educational resource, created by ecologist Kes Otter Lieffe, and richly illustrated by Anja Van Geert, liberates this knowledge and helps free us all to be our true selves.

This is the second edition of Queer Animals. 

€1 from the sale of each copy of this zine will be donated to Solidarity Apothecary, materially supporting revolutionary struggles and communities with plant medicines to strengthen collective autonomy, self-defence and resilience to climate change, capitalism and state violence.

Solidarity pricing

Everything relating to creating books is more expensive these days – printing, shipping, packaging, everything! I really want to keep my prices as accessible as possible so rather than increase prices in my shop across the board, I’ve kept the minimum (pre-inflation) price and also added a ‘choose your own price’ option. Paying more for your book/s helps to keep make my work sustainable, but please only pay more if you’re in a position to.
Either way, thank you for supporting my work! 🩷
