Queer City: Gay London from the Romans to the Present Day by Peter Ackroyd

informative slow-paced

I guess it’s historically accurate but god, is it boring. And it does just reduce queerness largely to gay men and it also focuses more on the punishments throughout time than the deeds. And the ONE thing I found interesting was the Black woman, who in 1815, successfully captained a ship - but there was NO COMMENT on the aspect of race?? Idk it was just booooring.
