"Since the queens looked something like women sometimes and since the women who love women look something like women sometimes
and since the queens and the women who love women were friends
the men lost the queens among the women who love women."

What an incredible little book. It gives the reader a unique insight into LGBTQIA+ culture in the US back in the 60s and 70s. It brilliantly narrates the struggles of society's outcasts. It shames me to see that after so many decades of suffering, a large portion of this country's population wants to seee the clock turn back to these dark times.
