A lovely history lesson on 23 queer people, many of whom I had no idea about or whom I had no idea were queer. I love the emphasis on remembering these people the way they wanted to be remembered in their true identities as opposed to the heteronormative ones that society pushed on them in their times. Great read and inspiring resource for queer people who want to learn about some of the leaders and influential people that paved the way for lgbtq rights today.

I think this is a good resource for anyone who knows little to nothing about LGBTQI+ historical figures. The nature of this kind of book is that there are so many figures left out, but hopefully that sparks people's interest in seeking out more information. For example, I find it astounding that Silvia Rivera has a whole chapter, but not Miss Major, Stormé Delaverie, or Marsha P. Johnson. Nevertheless, the author was clearly moving through the eras quite quickly, and it wasn't her project to focus so much on Stonewall, I suppose.
