We’ve Been Here All Along
Author: R. Richard Wagner
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society
ISBN: 0870209132
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
The first of two groundbreaking volumes on gay history in Wisconsin, We’ve Been Here All Along provides an illuminating and nuanced picture of Wisconsin’s gay history from the reporting on the Oscar Wilde trials of 1895 to the landmark Stonewall Riots of 1969. Throughout these decades, gay Wisconsinites developed identities, created support networks, and found ways to thrive in their communities despite various forms of suppression—from the anti-vice crusades of the early twentieth century to the post-war labeling of homosexuality as an illness to the Lavender Scare of the 1950s. In We’ve Been Here All Along, R. Richard Wagner draws on historical research and materials from his own extensive archive to uncover previously hidden stories of gay Wisconsinites. This book honors their legacy and confirms that they have been foundational to the development and evolution of the state since its earliest days

You've Been Warned
Author: Henry Miranda
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462817327
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Book Review The Bible warns us of the deceptions of Satan. He can transform himself into an Angel of light. That could be deceiving, if we weren't in the word of God. Only spiritual maturity and insight can protect us from Satan, the master of deceit. You've been warned, is a biblical account of scripture with layman understanding. Author Henry Miranda, explains, in his point of view, what various scripture mean. This is a good read for those struggling with their faith, or have doubt the existence of God. Anyone can understand this book. The reason I added the insert is because of my own personal belief in its truth. We go through our daily lives often never considering the beauty around us, or how it got there, but then neither do we consider the reason so many bad things happen. We may ask why and often blame God for our misfortune, when in reality its the master of deceit thats to blame. This author expresses his devotion to the living word and gets a big Kudos, but it needs a bit of editing. Reviewer: Deanna
