3.0

This is a queer history that covers the government's oppression of LGBTQ people in the not-so-distant past—starting with Kammy a brilliant man who could not get security clearance after having a record of indecent behavior with another man.  It is heavily in the history of before Stonewall, documenting the assimilation of gays before Stonewall led to come as you are people.  Kammy's storyline was interweaved through the whole text as he kicked it off with fighting against the government—a slow pace dense book, good for learning queer secret history.
