Queer Power Couples

This photographic celebration of queer love and excellence gathers fourteen LGBTQ+ power couples, offering a glimpse into the journeys that led to their meaningful relationships and thriving careers. From designer Debbie Millman''s ardent courtship of writer Roxane Gay (which resulted in their marriage in 2020), to the romantic and creative relationship forged between Perfume Genius bandmates Mike Hadreas and Alan Wyffels on stage during their first world tour, this beautiful book offers a closer look into the lives of fourteen inspiring LGBTQ+ couples and the meet cutes, success stories, and personal reflections that made them the role models they are today. These icons come from a range of backgrounds - they are trailblazers who lead research labs, restaurants, and news organizations; create life-giving art and music; and tell queer stories in award-winning books, films, and television shows. With in-depth original interviews facilitated by journalist Hannah Murphy and intimate photography taken by her wife, Billie Winter, this diverse collection is a jubilant celebration of queer love and an empowering reminder to younger LGBTQ+ generations of their limitless possibilities.
