A Queer History of the United States by Michael Bronski

4.0

Interesting, covers a wide time period, and a good foundation for layering other sources onto. I used this as assigned reading for my LGBT history class and found it helpful, especially for the earlier time periods. As we move into the late 19th and 20th centuries I found the chapter breakdown a little quirkier and the forays into literary examples interesting but less helpful for my purposes. But despite its limitations it's a good starting point and it's hard to find another contender for a really strong synthesis of LGBT history over this time span.
