Very encompassing and entertaining reference guide

Easy to use and fun to browse. I would enjoy seeing this updated from 1998 when it was published. I bought this primarily to see what insights it offered for artists and writers that I knew of and also as it was recommended by the artist Tee Corinne in her book `Intimacies'. Book Description - A chronicle of gay and lesbian life and achievement, with entries from "ACT UP" to "Wilde". Includes a resource list, 200 photographs and illustrations, quotes, and tables. The authors stress their view of gay and lesbian communities as multi-political, multicultural, and anything but homogenous. This remarkably informative and entertaining guide explores in amazing depth more facets of today's gay and lesbian culture than any other one- volume reference work. With quotes, facts, reading lists, and useful tables from famous pseudonyms to gay detective novels. The book cover both lesbian and gay male points of view, offering information on their common concerns as well as their different histories and interests.

Compendium of everything gay

I got this book as a birthday present and haven't been able to put it down since. It's fascinating and validating to see what a positive impact gays have had on our society. I've given copies to all of my friends.
