Jane Fleishman presents seven interviews with people who came of age during the time of Stonewall. A worthwile and easy-to-read collection for those interested in queer elders, queer aging, memories, relationships, sex and activism through the decades for a US-american/North-American context!

I enjoyed that the book brings together a lot of different perspectives and shows a variety of LGBTQ people! In particular, I learned a lot about the origins of gay leather bear culture and bi activism in the 1980s.

Remember the queer people who came before us - and keep in mind that many of them are still very much here.

Delightful set of long interviews, mostly if the Stonewall generation rather than of Stonewall veterans — so a fascinating set of coning out stories and institutional histories
