“We’re trying to nudge the community toward a consciousness of gay liberation, rather than the compromise of gay rights.” -Marty Robinson, 1986

This book is the culmination of decades and decades of militant civil-disobedience. The history that is narrated in these pages is one that brings me ineffable pride and that deserves to be widely celebrated, taught, and committed to memory. If you’re seeing this and you have my number, reach out and ask to borrow it—PLEASE.

No queer history is ever going to be complete because of the way we have been buried, hidden, and erased from the narrative. I’m thankful for this slice. I’m thankful the way it centers trans people, especially trans women of color. I’m thankful for knowing where I come from in a community where our defining trait is finding our family and heritage out in the world instead of where we are born. I’m thankful that I can fight for the next chapter.

Taken from the Asheville offering at BNV a few years ago in a stunning piece about intersectionality: “my bones are genetically thickened due to the brutality my ancestors bore.”

May we continue to be everywhere.
