Bad Gays: A Homosexual History, by Huy Lemmy & Ben Miller
Tuesday, March 26, 6:00-7:30PM
3455 Camp St. (enter on Aline St. side)
We’ll meet to discuss the book on Tuesday, March 26, 6:00PM at 3455 Camp St. (enter on the Aline St. side). Refreshments will be provided.
Book description: “We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those ‘bad gays’ whose unexemplary lives reveal more than we might expect? Many popular histories seek to establish homosexual heroes, pioneers, and martyrs but, as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and dastardly deeds have been overlooked despite their being informative and instructive. Based on the hugely popular podcast series of the same name, Bad Gays asks what we can learn about LGBTQ+ history, sexuality and identity through its villains, failures, and baddies.”
