Not Guilty: Queer Stories from a Century of Discrimination by Sue Elliott, Steve Humphries

challenging informative inspiring

4.75

A book both inspiring and heartbreaking. It tells the tale of the last 100 years living as a gay man in the UK. The criminalisation, stigma, denial, deceit and the fights back again injustice. Told via the testimonies of gay men who not only lived through it, but played a major but unknown part in getting to where we are today. Their stories are spliced between well written historical context, and make what could have been a very dry read into a very emotional intimate one.
