this is essentially interviews with + essay about various LGBTQ+ icons and pioneers from britain
it's fair to say some views in this book are more progressive than others, but there's definitely some important about hearing views on LGBTQ+ rights, straight from the horses' mouths, and it made me happy happy happy to hear these people thriving

I really enjoyed this - it was a good mix of interviews with famous and/or activists in the LGBT community, documentary, intellectual discussion, and comedy. The only thing that would have made it better is if it was more inclusive of the broad Queer community - it primarily focuses on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues, which are of course important, but a few broader representations would have been good too.
