While it did give me a lot of info I didn't previously have about queer celebrities and queer people through history in general, I have three issues with this.

1. The misspelling of AIDS constantly and some other minor things that could have been fixed with a good proofreader.
2. The names on the top being difficult to read in the font they were presented in.
3. The fact that some people included in this were not queer at all, such as Madonna, but only advocates for LGBT rights which is a big difference.

Still, it gave me insight to some things I didn't know and that I'll value. ( )
