Bad Gays

Despite the book having room for some edition, this was a solid read in LGBTQ history and has definitely instilled in me a taste for more. Particularly enjoyed the sarcastic/ironic bits. I've recommended it to several friends, as I feel it's a good introductory way to see history, with the lens given by today's knowledge.

4.5/5.0

This book is a must on queer theory and LGBTQ individuals interested in knowing about queer history, our history. Understand that we are not the first “weirdos,” but a thousand years ago, there were people like us... But bad Gays.

“We do not get to choose who we are but we do get to choose how, and with whom, we dance: what queerness, what faggotry, what transness, what gender trouble and abolition will be for us and with us and to us. The past is still with us; the revolutions of the queer future beckon” p. 309
