A Little Gay History: Desire and Diversity Around the World by R.B. Parkinson

fast-paced

4.0

It is at it says "A Little Gay History," it shows a collection of small tidbits of queer history, with the largest focus on gay male history. A good starting point for someone interested in learning more about gay history, but it didn't dive quite deep enough or diverse enough for to give it a 5 star in my books (keeping in mind it was written in 2013, so the way we approach queer history, specifically gender identity has changed in 2021). I would recommend it for someone looking for a quick read of a few different areas of gay history-- good to start an interest in a historical figure or artifact that could be researched further on your own.
