Description
It's LGBTQ+ history month in the UK and Ireland, so what better time to talk about than Anna Genovese, the bisexual mob queen who history tried to forget. Not only did she create a safe haven for LGBT folks, she did what no other mob wife did before, testified in open court against her husband, mafia kingpin Vito Genovese!
