Customer Reviews

Very good essays

27 essays on a whole range of different subjects by a queer activist. She writes about everything from personal things such as gardens, cats, and breast cancer (well okay, this can be political too), to essays about the death of gay black men from AIDS and essays on female genital mutilation. She writes about her own life experiences - and she's undergone a lot - and about causes and controversial issues such as outing and gay marriage. I really want to give this 4 1/2 stars because it's very good, it's just not my utter favourite enough to give 5 stars to. It's a very good read and will get you thinking, whether you agree with the author's beliefs or not. I wish she wrote for my local newspaper.

a great read, well worth it

An amazing book, absolutely worth reading

essential reading for the radical queer

Tired of those conservative assimilationist queers? Read this book, dealing with large political subjects as well as the details of trying to construct a life. Nominated for TWO lammy awards.....
