I learned so much reading this book! I thought I knew so much about queer history and music - but I was undereducated until I read this book. The soundtrack for this book is epic - Sylvester, Little Richard, David Bowie, Donna Summer, and so many more. It has inspired me to really dig into some classic music playlists. It is a lengthy, but engrossing in depth pop culture history book that I will be using as a reference for years to come.

I received this as digital galley from NetGalley.

This was an interesting book that focused on queer/lesbian/gay musicians (some out, some closeted) who helped to influence culture. I liked that the book chose to focus on both the US and UK because I learned about UK musicians that I had never heard of before.

Like many books related to LGBT culture I feared that this would focus just on cis gay male- but the book included female musicians and transgender musicians.
