I found this super interesting. I learned a lot about figures which I hadn't realised were homos! Two really interesting Irish entries as well.

First off — I never knew so many historical figures were gay! Even the ones who aren’t the focus of the chapters. Secondly — there’s a perfect balance here: spot-on humour that (I’m ashamed to admit) made me laugh out loud several times; biting, disdainful wit levelled squarely at some of the most despicable people in history; and a compassionate eye towards a queer project of future-making that uses its complicated history (and the figures which shaped it) to forge a path forwards towards solidarity and liberation.
