 "An Outstandingly Good Resource & a FUN Read"

"After reading this marvelous book, I have a better appreciation of the struggles of LGBTs to obtain their inalienable rights. I hope I'm a little more mature about this topic, even though I laughed out loud at the Marlon Brando/Wally Cox affair. I don't know if I'll ever be mature enough to not laugh at that."

"This book is fantastic! The more I read the more fun it got! All those people doing other people! Backed by nearly irrefutable evidence, this book delves into the same sex lives as our idols, our statesmen and even our religious leaders. "

"It is well researched, well documented, and covers many years of people, their lives and sexual identity. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it was easy to follow up but the lives of these human beings are real. And I learned a few things and that's another good thing about this book."
