We Are Everywhere: Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation by Matthew Riemer, Leighton Brown

5.0

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.
