A very brief look at a lot of queer characters. This is a snap shot, not a deep dive, but it does have a wide range of modern and ancient characters.

This was an interesting look at the origins of many mythical characters, and how the may have been queer. From more of a queer sensibility like Loki to queer figures with more of a foothold like Sappho.
I'm always down for this kind of a read, although admittedly some of it is a reach.

I did feel that the collection got less focused when we turned to modern media like Buffy or Doctor Who. It ended up a bit confused on what exactly it's speaking too. But overall it's an enjoyable light read.
