4/5. A long and winding unearthed history of queer people in and around Washington. Fascinating and delightful and horribly depressing, as you might expect. There’s a whole lot of injustice here, and suicide, and ruination, and death. Also a lot of grit and courage and humor. I learned a lot, including about places I’ve been many times.
Do note that there are a lot more men than women in these pages, and almost everyone is white.
Content notes: Suicide, homophobia, outing, assault, AIDS in the 80’s.
