Queer Entanglements provides the first comprehensive account of the intersections of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, and non-binary people's lives with the lives of animals. Exploring diverse topics such as domestic violence, grief following the loss of an animal, veganism, cruelty-free makeup products, Pride events, and community activism, the book offers a theoretical and empirical basis for understanding the contexts that bring together human and animal lives. By using real-world examples, it provides a lively and engaging view of what it means to think about the connections between animal and human lives, even when human experiences operate at the expense of animal wellbeing. This critical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary perspective on human-animal relations will be of interest to scholars and students in human-animal studies, psychology, sociology, social work, and cultural and gender studies.

Industry Reviews

'This is the most thorough account of the relationships between animals, both as constructs and companions, and LGBTQIA+ people. The authors successfully tackle imperative the topics at hand. It is a crucial text that will aid the discussions surrounding the enmeshment of human and animal lives with queer politics.' Z. Zane McNeill, Co-Editor of Queer and Trans Voices
'In their magnificent transdisciplinary collaboration, the authors advance the fields of Animal Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies. This exceptional book reveals the intimate and structural processes of making queer multispecies kinship through our entanglements, sentiment, and dedication.' Lisa Jean Moore, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies, State University of New York
