Very informative book. I will likely revisit this one in the future.

I definitely think the audience for this is younger than I am but I still found it interesting. I think someone mentioned it when I came out a couple of years ago and I'm just now getting to it. A lot of information about queer people whether you're thinking of coming out, newly out, or friends or family of someone who is. Most of it is evergreen but some of the political content is understandably a little out of date already.

Literally in tears when the book came to an end. Beautifully written. It's been a long time since I read any of the Greek myths this was based on but it fits in the hazy memories and adds layers to those characters.

Very well researched and presented. My favorite parts were probably the chapters on more current mythos like superheroes and the like but it was all enjoyable and interesting.

Really engaging. As a GenXer, I grew up in front of the TV and I'm old enough that a bulk of the book is about TV shows I saw in their first run. But some of them I was young enough not to completely pick up on what was happening.

Basically this was a very informative and interesting journey through the past with a queer lens. It's essentially sort of a marriage of TV sitcoms with the history of the times. I appreciated knowing what politically was happening at the same time as the storylines discussed. And it well acknowledged the feedback in both directions between the times and the art.

Having watched the author on YouTube for years I was already fairly sure this would be a well done and worthwhile read and he absolutely delivered.
