About

"Bad Gays" by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller explores the unconventional history of homosexuality by shedding light on lesser-known figures whose lives challenge mainstream assumptions. The book delves into the stories of individuals like Emperor Hadrian, Margaret Mead, Ronnie Kray, Lawrence of Arabia, and J. Edgar Hoover, revealing how their lives inform LGBTQ+ history and identity. Through a diverse cast of characters, the authors argue for a rethinking of gay politics beyond identity, encouraging readers to seek solidarity across boundaries and consider the complexities of sexual identity throughout history.
