A new book takes a colorful look at pioneering icons of the arts who were LGBTQ.

From “Swan Lake” to “Frankenstein” movies to the pop charts, the arts have always been deeply influenced by artists from the LGBTQ community. An about-to-be-released book shines a light on 50 pioneering artists from around the world who made indelible contributions to culture. Producer Marc Vitali spoke with one of the book’s creators, who is himself something of a local arts icon.
