[Jessica Stein · Rating 3 out of 5]

A screaming queen dishing on the GLF from a ringside seat, while the group was still active. Absolutely not chronological; virtually incomprehensible if you don't have context, haven't done other reading first. That done, plenty of info here not found in other books. More fun in small doses.

This was fantastic -- written during the two years after Stonewall, it's a highly detailed, finely focused account of the various groups and controversies that emerged in the first flush of gay lib.

This is our history, the history of the LGBTQIA community. it was the very first book I read when I was beginning to understand my sexuality. it helped me shaoe my pursuit in social and economic justice.
