A Great Gay Book Reviews

"An insightful collection . . . The stylistically diverse contributions are linked by a preoccupation with the question of whether increased mainstream acceptance of LGBTQ+ people must come at the expense of what makes the community unique. Its an illuminating snapshot of the changing face of queerness." * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
