Meet the Author: Max Hovey – No Fats, No Fems

Details

Join us for a Meet the Author event with Max Hovey to discuss his new book No Fats, No Fems, chaired by author, founder, and storyteller Kenny Ethan Jones.

Taken from the exclusionary and derogatory language used in some online spaces, No Fats, No Fems investigates the prejudice and discrimination that many queer people experience both online and physically.

Combining personal testimony and research across the LGBTQIA+ community, Hovey’s groundbreaking guide explores: the roots of intra-community prejudice in racial, class, and identity-based discrimination; internalised homophobia and its links to body image issues; and the crucial role of intersectionality in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights.

Your ticket also includes admission to Queer Britain Museum - before the event, you can explore our exhibitions.
