Spanning continents and millennia, Queer Mythology gathers twenty myths that spotlight LGBTQIA+ gods, heroes, spirits, and culture-shapers. Myths connect us—revealing who we are and how communities have always imagined love, identity, and belonging. From Tu’er Shen, the Chinese rabbit god who protects those seeking to live openly, to Ghede Nibo, the Haitian spirit known for dazzling drag in the realm of the dead, these stories affirm a simple truth: while language and labels evolve, queer people have always existed.
