Those who have changed the face of homosexuality over the centuries are not completely heroic.  Learn about the first great gay activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, read of brave men and women of the Matachine Society and of the Stonewall riot, and relive the stories of the writers and artists who pushed a movement forward. Intriguing, shocking, and ultimately hopeful!

“Delectable tidbits, quotable quotes, eye-popping revelations, dastardly deeds, heroic tales, and much to vibrate your funny bone. . . . Erin McHugh is a masterful miner with a jeweler’s keen eye, a razor-sharp pen, and a delicious sense of humor.”—Eric Marcus, author of Making Gay History
