A Little Gay History: Desire and Diversity Around the World by R.B. Parkinson
4.0
I'm an amateur when it comes to LGBT+ history, as in before reading this my knowledge was next to none. I didn't buy this to be given a full course on LGBT+ history, but instead for a little bit of knowledge to have before fully delving in and learning more, which is exactly what this book offers.
It's quite short, which is great if you're just getting interested in LGBT+ history because large history books can often be quite daunting. I don't think I'd recommend this if you know a lot on LGBT+ history because it probably won't teach you anything new, though I reckon it'd make a great coffee table book. Above all else it shows you how LGBT individuals were treated from history to now, and gives you a bunch of interesting facts which make great conversation topics.
