Picked this up from a box of queer literature in Park Slope on a visit to Brooklyn before I moved here. It was a perfection introduction to the history I'm seeking to engage with. Flawed, human stories of flawed humans doing their best to make the world a better place. I know it's only one small slice of what's happened to get us where we are today & where we're going in terms of queer liberation, but Jay never acts as if she's doing anything more than just showing us her small slice of the experience.

Really fascinating read! Jay recounts both personal and internecine dynamics of the queer liberation movement. Her insights on activism and society were really interesting in light of the current fragmented landscape of radicalism.

I was reading it for a class but didn't finish it in time. It was an interesting read though, and I plan to come back to it.
