What Was Stonewall? by Who HQ, Nico Medina

5.0

This has been on my shelf forever because my daughter got it out of the library and I wanted to read it too. LGBTQ+ history is something I know very little about. I didn’t even know what Stonewall was when I read this, which surprised my mom when I told her! I was glad to learn more and found this book straightforward and informative. I could have lived without calling Ellen Degeneres beloved since the allegations about her toxic work environment came out. Reading this made me even more frustrated at certain groups today who are quick to consider themselves oppressed or marginalized or even compare themselves to actual genocide victims. Learning more of the history that some states are trying to ban could possibly help people to see what real discrimination is.
