What a great book - an interesting collection of bars, clubs, night life, and also charities and health resources。 Part guide, part history snap shot, this is such a helpful resource, interspersed with pages focussing on people and organisations important to LGBTQ+ history。 It's refreshingly inclusive and intersectional。 What a great book - an interesting collection of bars, clubs, night life, and also charities and health resources。 Part guide, part history snap shot, this is such a helpful resource, interspersed with pages focussing on people and organisations important to LGBTQ+ history。 It's refreshingly inclusive and intersectional。 。。。more
