A cathedral in ruins in Managua, occupied by the underground LGBTQIA+ community. This lavishly illustrated 'atlas' celebrates over 90 queer spaces. An independent bookshop in Glasgow. An ice cream parlour in Havana, where strawberry is the queerest choice. A cathedral in ruins in Managua, occupied by the underground LGBTQIA+ community.
