This book looks at the lives of queer people of all ages but skewed to older generations. The book looks at people’s individual stories and in the process covers trauma like AIDS pandemic and the impact it had on a generation of queer people. The shows the many different ways it means to be queer. I wish some of the interviews were extended and the book briefly touches on chronic illness and queerness. I would have loved for the book to explore more of this. The book looks at the intersectionality of queerness and race and statehood. The book looks at the beautiful and difficult moments people have faced around their queerness.
