In 2020, my wife and I asked the question: why hadn't a book about queer power couples been made yet? 

A queer power couple, as we saw it, is at the intersection of three things: They’re out, they’re coupled, and they’re able to influence mainstream culture. We realized that perhaps the reason this book hadn’t been made yet was because, up until the last ten years, that intersection was pretty empty. 

But in 2020, that intersection had become busy enough that we were whole lists of queer power couples. And so we wanted to ask the question: How does it feel to live at that intersection? We spent three years asking that question — and many others — to some of the most interesting, influential LGBTQ people in their fields. 

The result is Queer Power Couples: On Love and Possibility. The book is a collection of interviews and photography documenting queer excellence through 14 power couples. They span generations, industries, and identities, but they all have one thing in common: queer joy. We hope this book brings you some queer joy too.
