A review by rnfortier
When Brooklyn Was Queer by Hugh Ryan

informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.0

This was so informative and I’m so glad I read it.
I very much appreciated that Ryan did not shy away from the racist parts of that history.
Overall, I think books like this are so incredibly important to remind all of us that queer people have always existed and not a modern realization. Our history is extensive, and Ryan presents that history in an easily accessible manner.
