Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Colonisation
Albeit a tad overly ambitious and wandering in its treatment of "bad gays" throughout virtually all of history, the discussion of key figures in the Weimar Berlin, Roy Cohn, and Philip Johnson chapters is particularly important and timely in the present sociopolitical climate. If nothing else, I would encourage all to read those chapters and then decide whether to read the remainder.
A very interesting, but sometimes a bit harder and dryer, read.

Not sure what the point is but reading about colonizing white men doing shit just cause they're gay isn't really up my speed also it feels like reading academia but it's not in depth like that so again I ask why would I read this

very informative but i think it would have benefited if it was more accessible to the average person, it felt almost too stuffy and academic sometimes

It was interesting to learn about the different queer figures in each chapter, only two thirds of whom I already knew. But I didn't enjoy the writing style at all, to the point where I felt quite bored in places and skim read in order to finish. Could have done with quite a bit more editing and preferably more than 1 woman and 1 non-white person! Shame as I was interested by the concept of a book about queer figures from history who the community might not jump to claim. It just didn't work for me.
More British in its scope than I was prepared for. I learned a lot, but it was not a quick little read as I had hoped.
