The Gay Agenda: A Modern Queer History & Handbook by Chessie Needham, Ashley Molesso
3.0
2.5*
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.
