MISINFORMATION
Overall I would say the book is a good book to listen to however concerning chapter 19 and 20 there is a whole bunch of misinformation especially concerning HIV and AIDS.
There has never ever been any scientific test or experiment which proves that HIV will cause AIDS.
I recommend anybody who reads this particular book or listens to it listens to a book or reads the book called "Inventing The AIDS VIRUS". HIV is in reality a human immune deficiency disorder which can actually show up in any test and be given a false reading for many reasons including a liver disease as well.
I especially recommend any person who is part of this particular book to read the book which I recommended.

Some great bits, but edited lazily
This audiobook was so confusing. Some of the content was great, but some of it consisted of entire shows where only one segment was about LGBTQ+ history, and the other segments were about other things entirely! Come on BBC, that was juuuuuuust lazy! Some editing and some linking narration would have made it, ahem, an actual audiobook...

worth a listen
A mixed collection of being LGBT+ in Britain. Like many of these collections, the views are limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans, and nothing else under the umbrella - I would love to see more diversity. But I enjoyed the mix of personal accounts, politics/activism, comedy and documentary.
Would have been helpful to have chapter names by topic or person.
