Racism and the Making of Gay Rights: A Sexologist, His Student, and the Empire of Queer Love by Laurie Marhoefer
4.0
**I received this book as an e-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.**
I thought this was a really interesting book. I had never heard of Magnus Hirschfeld or Tao Li, but rhey had realt interesting lives and conteibutions ro the queer community and queer history, especially at a time when it wasn’t easy or even possible to be out. While these men were not perfect by any means, they did dedicate their lives to sexology. At times, their views were written in a confusing way, but their views were often confusing and contradictory, so it makes sense that that happens. But otherwise I think it was well-written and interesting.
Review is rounded up from 3.5.
