Reviews with content warning for Homophobia - Real Queer America: Lgbt Stories from Red States

Read this with Eri and that only enhanced this book for me. Really miss the South--being a Southern Queer is so different and valuable and complex and this book touched on those emotions and so many more. I'm thankful for it.

Created in response to """coastal elites""" dismissing the midwest and south and its inhabitants, it was difficult to pin down who this book was created for. As a queer person who lives in the midwest, I wanted more in-depth analysis and examination of why queer people lived where they did. It was sweet and accessible, but I wanted more than just "hey look, there's a tight-knit LGBTQ+ community in this midwestern city!"
