This book is more of an introduction to queer thought, theory, & philosophy than a history. As such, it is very useful and mind opening. I wish I could have read this book earlier, especially the stuff about the queer rejection of binaries. Foucault’s “do not ask me who I am, & do not ask me to remain the same” is the perfect response to any number of introductory icebreaker questions, & I wish I could have pulled it out at any number of parties & functions (even if it is a paraphrase)! Fits well with other graphical guides to philosophy.
