Bad Gays: A Homosexual History
by Ben Miller, Huw Lemmey
This was such an interesting read. It’s definitely not like anything I have ever read so it made it a bit difficult to like but I really liked it. It was strange reading about such horrible people. Like there are have some assholes I didn’t know about. But what I really liked about this book is how it brings you through the different obstacles, both legally and socially, for gay people through history. It really shows how homophobia has always been based in stupidity and no shred of logic.
Now I have a few problems with this book. For one, there is hardly any diversity for this to be called a “homosexual history.” Out of the 14 people, only two are not white men. Another thing is that there is hardly any information that you wouldn’t know about without doing simple research on gay history.
This book was written in a way that was very entertaining and witty. Regardless of my problems, I did really enjoy this book and think it’s a great read for anyone.
