Hillbilly Queer is the story of a queer man on a roadtrip to his conservative, small town father's high school reunion during the height of the 2016 election. The conversations and relationship are all too familiar to any queer adult with a conservative parent who at times feels like a complete stranger, given the severe ideological differences.
This was a sort of therapeutic read for me. While I do not think that the author's approach to his relationship with his father would work for everyone, I do think this will resonate with a lot of people whose relationships with their parents are still hanging somewhere on the fence.
