Summary: very interesting book, but.....
Comment: I was a little bit disappointed when I received this book, because I was expecting a more comprehensive historical-survey of the Iberia peninsula---from Celtiberians and Carthaginians to the Castilian & Aragon kingdoms---, especially Islamic male/male(boy) loves' documenta. However, in the book we could find only several examples of "paiderastia" about the caliphs , sultans et poets of Cordova, Granada et Sevilla in the Middle Ages. And most of the contents are on the Christendom of Iberia in which the "queer" idea that same-sex loves were unnatural and sinful was rampant. I prefer to read more positive & uplifting histories of the Hispania et Lusitania ; e.g. many interesting stories of the ancient Romans and of the Muslim peoples.
