In the past, being different has often been dangerous, and people couldn't always be open about how they wanted to dress, what gender they wanted to be, and who they loved...
Within these pages, you'll learn about how LGBTQIA2S+ people have used signs and symbols throughout history to communicate with each other, create safe spaces, and celebrate who they are!
You'll recognise the rainbow flags of Pride Month, but what about the Labrys, the Lambda or the Lavender Rhino? This beautifully illustrated guide takes you on a journey through everything from the green carnations of Oscar Wilde and the violets of Sappho to the black rings of asexuality and the reclaimed pink triangles of persecution.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This book was so informative about the different symbols the alphabet mafia has used throughout the years, and I even learned some things I didn't previously know. I really liked the simple discussion questions included in the book that I think would be great to get kids thinking and putting themselves in other people's shoes. It's never too early to teach empathy.
The illustrations were very colorful, but for a book of this nature I think that's really to be expected. I mean, when you're rather intentionally working with the full rainbow on a regular basis, it would be weird for it to not be colorful. I really think this book would be a great addition to every library, but I also know it would receive a lot of challenges in certain regions.
Overall I give Rainbows, Unicorns, and Triangles 5.00037 out of 5 stars. - Katie
