pachypedia's review against another edition
2.0
Este libro me ha parecido suuuuper parcial. Las críticas a que se centra casi exclusivamente en hombres gays blancos son muy acertadas, poca representación de las demás siglas del colectivo. Además, me fastidia mucho que se venda como una memoria del colectivo en general, cuando el 98% del tiempo se centra en lo ocurrido en USA, en sus ciudadanos, leyes, asociaciones... Obviando lo que ocurre en el resto del planeta, de las demás personas que lucharon por sus derechos. Un ejemplo, al hablar del primer matrimonio entre personas del mismo ejemplo, habla del primer matrimonio en EEUU, cuando en otros países como Dinamarca es algo que se consiguió mucho antes. Eso no es la memoria del colectivo, deberían vender este libro como historia de Estados Unidos especifiente, porque los personajes incluídos que no son estadounidenses son contados yo archiconocidos, y en cuanto a publicaciones, hechos o leyes de otros países, brillan por su ausencia.

I liked this book it was good but it’s for baby gays. It has a queer dictionary and talks about history. I know a lot about the history stuff being a history obsessive. I like the narration of the audiobook because the narrator is kinda like “this was a mean way to treat queer people”. It is very much a YA/high school book. But I think it’s important to talk about the movement often. If I can recommend a book for teens just coming out, this one and “this book is gay” by Juno Dawson

Very informative, but lacking in many places. Doesn't dive deep in to any one topic, but does a good job of skimming queer history from the last 100 years. Seems to focus more on more recent events, though.

Deducted a star because the font size, style, and color make this book, at times, very difficult to read.

Good introduction to key events and LGBTQ+ icons of the 1900s to present day.

The artwork was nice but it didnt feel like anything new or exciting about LGBTQ history. The fact that besides recognizing the existence of the two spirit identity from the Zuni tribe, it takes a very long time to talk about any people of color in terms of the queer community. The bisexuality definition was outdated and frankly, it felt almost tokenizing the history that was highlighted. Look elsewhere for queer history.

The drawings are nice, but there are serious flaws in this.
In terms of content, the scope is basically only inclusive of the US and UK, the language used in some parts is dismissive of some identities in the LGBT+ community (such as using the term "both genders"), POC LGBT+ history is somewhat pushed to the side, each of the items featured in the book are given as discrete units with no connection to each other, and the text is so tiny that it's hard to read.
Overall, it's a bit disappointing, but for someone with no knowledge of queer history, it isn't the worst starting point.
