The main issue with the collection for me was how insufferable a few of the characters were. Mo really annoyed me until Sydney came along and made her seem reasonable and well rounded.

I absolutely loved
Sometimes it was hard to read because of all the political content, but that content was so important. It was just hard to see how we are still struggling with a lot of the same issues. It was hard to see how little progress we've made in some areas. I think reading all of the strips together in a relatively short period made that tougher to handle. I think reading them as they came out would have made that less difficult.
This is such an influential collection and such an important snapshot in time in a queer community. It's worth reading.

All -phobias in DTWOF are realistic queer experiences, including from fellow queers, not gratuitous.
