About this listen

Rainbow History Class is your entry into LGBTQ+ history, sharing queer and trans stories from Ancient civilisations all the way up to the internet.

So much of queer and trans history and culture has been erased, but Hannah McElhinney, writer and creator of Rainbow History Class (as seen on TikTok), is here to help us all with this crash course. This history lesson isn’t dry and academic, nor is it glitter-soaked and reductive. It’s a comprehensive and entertaining romp through queer and trans history, full of secret queer codes, gender-bending icons, pop-culture knowledge and incredible activists.

More than anything, Rainbow History Class will make you feel connected to the stories of our rich and vibrant community. This knowledge will help spark conversations between your friends and family and be a source of comfort as you stand up for yourself and your community. This audiobook is a celebration for all LGBTQ+ people, and an invitation to the newly out that says, 'Welcome to the club, let’s get you caught up!'

With bonus audio content from Hannah and Rudy in conversation on Rainbow History.

Hannah McElhinney (she/her) is the writer and creator of Rainbow History Class, a space for sharing the queer and trans history we so rarely have the opportunity to learn. Their stories aim to inspire, educate, bring gratitude, build bridges, make you laugh, make you mad and maybe even help you win an argument.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So much new information on it to the average reader. You’ll learn heaps, and get pissed off a bit on now things have unfolded

Very worth a listening

There was so much history I only knew the smallest thing about, and so much more I didn't know until this book. It truly touches on all aspects of queer and trans history, portraying how much we as a community have gone through and fought for.

I highly recommend reading this book. It's informative and has humour and emotional moments. It's everything anyone could ask for when it comes to rainbow history.

It was so good I am going to buy the physical
