No Way, They Were Gay?: Hidden Lives and Secret Loves (Queer History Project) by Lee Wind
medium-paced
2.0
Going to self-plagiarize the longer review I put on Tumblr & say: This book is an attempt at validating historical queer existence that falls so embarrassingly flat because it was trying to do too much with too little information. Lincoln doesn't need to be gay for us to talk about historical queer people. If you're gonna argue that he is, don't cherry-pick evidence. Also, the pronoun choices in this are questionable - they/them are NOT the masculine AFAB pronoun set.
Minor: Homophobia, Misogyny, Sexism, Transphobia, and Lesbophobia
