I like how in-depth the book was in discussing about gay rights, more specifically how race, eugenics, and women were intertwined throughout history in multiple countries, like the United States, Germany, the Philippines, and Malaysia. I was pleased with looking at how women were affected by the gay rights movement, especially how lesbians were perceived by the general public along with gay men. I wish there was more content in the book, but was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned with this book.
