I was originally annoyed at the lack of defined terms and felt that this self-admitted pseudo-academic book was leaning too pseudo, but I read on. It's a book with a bite, asking you to question things and the meager progress (or progress, then backslide) we've made in LGBTQ rights and thus gentrification, both mental and literal. It's a heartfelt book, not mushy but sincere. A solid tribute to the deceased and the victimized. It provides a new framework with which to look at intentional sociological and public health oversights. I was changed by it and am looking forward to reading all the works mentioned.
