Loved this book. I'm fairly educated about Queer history, being queer myself, and I still learned a lot from this book. I hadn't known about Elagabalus, Albert Cashier, Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, Eleanor Roosevelt, Josef Kohout, Mychal Judge and more. While the 3 to 4 page chapters made it easy to move along in the book, I wish there had been just a bit more information. A great starting point for those who are new to queer history!
