Every year, the Miami Book Fair attracts authors from countless walks of life to the heart of downtown Miami and hundreds of thousands of literary fans eager to meet them and hear them speak. The event always boasts a wide variety of programming centered on various experiences and the authors who relate those experiences, and this year, LGBTQ readers will have a large selection of activities from which to choose… At Sunday’s LGBTQ Lives event, Samantha Allen – a trans journalist and author of Real Queer America: LGBT Stories From Red States – will discuss what she learned from the queer communities she came across in her reporting, and Libby Davies will talk about her journey to becoming the first openly lesbian member of parliament in Canadian politics, which she chronicles in Outside In: A Political Memoir.
