"In Language Before Stonewall, Leap uses novel methods to elucidate a varied but thematically and affectively coherent archive. This archive reconstructs queer US history before Stonewall as a temporal location ... that afforded agency to queers as expressive subjects. In doing this, Leap both gives his reader a productive method they may employ in their own queer linguistic studies if they so choose and, in a sense, prepares the US before Stonewall as a fertile site for queer linguistic scholarship." (Jack Maginn, Journal of Language and Sexuality, Vol. 11 (2), 2022)
