Transcription: https://moonyreadsbystarlight.wordpress.com/2021/01/05/topical-tbr-lgbtq-history-10-may-2020/
I will be filming updates as I finish the books on my TBR or as I find more to add to the list. I am looking to add a few that look more specifically at bisexual/mulisexual identity history as well as asexuality.
