Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality by Julia Shaw
5.0
I wanted to read a non-fiction LGBTQ+ book for pride month and this one jumped out at me!!
As a bisexual myself a lot of this book was super reaffirming. I appreciated how Julia Shaw took all research with a grain of salt and explored the research behind the data points. She also is very inclusive of all types of relationships/orientations/races.
I also learned SO MUCH about human sexuality in general as well as queer history. For instance I never knew that homosexuals were sent to jail after being liberated from Nazi concentration camps!!!
This book just brought up and discussed so many viewpoints I've never heard of or considered before. It's written in a way that anyone can just pick it up and dive in - no matter how much or little they know about human sexuality/sociology. It was a great read.
