Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey
5.0
"I also owe this book and my life to my queer community ... This is for you. This is for all of you. There's a place for you in the future, and it's better than you can imagine. Please be there to meet it. We need you on our side."
This book is so short, and in the times we live in, it was much needed. I would recommend it to anyone in the queer community.
While I hope that the world we see in this book is as far from what I and others in the queer community have to look forward to in a century, the story is still poignant.
Upright Women Wanted, at its core, is about finding a family that loves you as you are. Not expecting you to be something that you aren't.
Though I also found the underlying story about the nation that was the US incredibly poignant to the moment we are in where we hold the idea of The United States on such a high pedestal, a group of people act like The US infallible when in reality it is and if we don't pay attention Facisim can and will take hold as we see here.
