Making Gay History: The Half-Century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights by Eric Marcus

4.0

I set a pretty low bar for this book to include any people beyond the white cis monsexual norm, and was pleasantly surprised at some points. I am hungry for any queer history though, to be honest, and found it an important documentation project with a lot of interesting characters. My personal favorite is the guy that sent his gay magazine directly to government officials including Hoover and when the FBI contacted his group telling them to take the FBI off the list they replied along the lines of 'take us of yours first'.
