Interesting book about LGBT people and movements that are a critical part of our nation‘s history and often left out of the historical narrative. Not earth shattering, but worth reading. After I finished this I realized it had less than 100 reviews on Goodreads, so it counts for one of my Read Harder books.

Overall a great read, pick it up if you want an overview of LGBTQ+ history in the U.S.

Be warned though that it very rarely moves out of the territory of Gay and Lesbian history, mentions a few bisexual people but almost never bisexuality and refers to “transvestism” more times than transgender people. Certainly very important historically, but has a few blind spots that could be addressed.
