What Was Stonewall? by Who HQ, Nico Medina

3.0

Good primer for Stonewall and LGBTQ+ history in the US. A little disappointed on the amount of information about Marsha P. Johnson, but pleasantly surprised at the inclusion of Sylvia Rivera, who is often left out of the discussion. Despite the fantastic inclusion of definitions at the beginning of the book, there was a heavy and continuous lumping in of the bisexual and pansexual communities with the blanket use of "gay", and the use of the term "drag queen" overwhelmingly overrides the transgender people that were on the front lines.

Definitely good for the age range, and hopefully can be useful in sparking other conversations about a more detailed discussion.
