I liked how wide ranging and inclusive this book was; it really showed the diversity of opinions and perspectives in the LGBTQ+ community, but also the common values that vibe bind us together. The last part was especially highlighted by the book being split into sections. I learned a lot and I think it’s a great jumping off point to learn more about recent history and how we’ve gotten to this point (i.e the history of pride). I think it’s important to learn about previous activities so we don’t repeat their mistakes (e.g. respectability politics, lack of intersectionality, etc). If it didn’t work then, it’s not going to work now, and acknowledging this is key to a progressive movement. Thank you to Mason Funk and his supporters for creating such a wonderful collection of stories.
