READ THIS!

This book is chockful of great monographs on gay and lesbian history. After a world-shaking introduction by all three editors, the book offers monographs from many periods in history. And not only is Western history profiled--there is also Asian gay history, and other non-European monographs as well. Everything is scholarly, and well-documented, and some of the information that you read in here is incredibly surprising! I am glad that a book like this finally exists, and, as a historian myself, know from this book that history is changing for the better by including the gay population and other minorities.
