The Theory That Justified Anti-Gay Crime

Did you know that The New Yorker has an online-only department called "Under Review?"  (Neither did I.)  It currently features Caleb Crain's review of a new book by James Polchin, Indecent Advances: A Hidden History of True Crime and Prejudice before Stonewall. 

It's anything but cheerful, going by Crain's description, but it does sound fascinating.

I know there's a whole WWW of electronic spider holes on The New Yorker  website. I come across them on searches. But I'm sticking with the hard copy (and a few podcasts). Life's too short. Thanks however for calling our attention to that review and to the Polchin. Sounds like a good complement to our earlier American Honor Killings.
