Adam Nathaniel Furman and their cocker spaniel Moomoo, photographed in Furman’s studio in Belsize Park, London, in April 2022 As Furman and Mardell describe in the book’s introduction, when you are ‘somehow different in a visible unconcealable way, you seek out spaces where you can simply be yourself, unmediated and unfettered, spaces where you can act freely in a manner that is truly consonant with your inner self’.takes in more than 90 spaces around the world, from across two centuries, where queer people could live authentically, access their shared heritage, and build a sense of community.
Others aim to show that ‘our history goes back a lot further,’ explains Furman. A particularly poignant entry introduces the former Knockaloe Internment Camp on the Isle of Man, which held civilian internees of German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish descent during the First World War. All of them were assigned male at birth, which necessitated occasional gender nonconformity in theatre performances.
Though measured in their optimism about the advance of LGBTQ rights , they acknowledge that the tide is turning. One of the final entries in the book is on Melbourne’s Victorian Pride Centre, a 2021 building that leads visitors through arches and vaults to a five-storey atrium – an allegory of coming out.
