Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-23 00:00:00 John Kurpiel Informative As someone who would consider themselves a straight ally to the LGBT community (hopefully that feeling would be reciprocated) this was a very eye opening book. I never knew that some of the people in the book were LGBT, more's the pity on my part. If I had to complain about something, it would be the concentration of gay men over lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender individuals, which could possibly be due to the sheer numbers of people who were identified as such. Also, with a publication date of 2005, a lot of the information is dated, mainly about people alive at the time of publication who have since passed. An updated edition would be appreciated. The last complaint, and the one which for a star deducted from the rating, was the formatting. Maybe it's just a Kindle thing, but it's disconcerting to see a word hyphenated to indicate that it is supposed to be printed across two lines smack dab in the middle of a line, where it isn't needed. But, I'm probably just being a stickler for proofreading. This is a very good book, in spite of my complaints.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-26 00:00:00 Rocco Siffredi Dry, repetitive and disengaged Perhaps this would be a more useful reference source for someone completely divorced from broadcast media in general. Few surprises, repetitive entries.
