Bad Gays: A Homosexual History by Ben Miller, Huw Lemmey
2.0

The book sounds incredibly interesting, but I feel like the authors should have taken a bit more time with it. The "badness" of people is not really explained and ranging from prostitutes to nazis and they also don't really explain what the bad thing the person did is. I felt incredibly dissapointed by this book. It also mostly featured white man except one token woman and one token Asian which felt incredibly distasteful, considering what a big role woman and people of color played and play in gay history.
