This is a great piece of investigative journalism with a little bit of memoir thrown in. Through a series of interviews with different LGBTQ+ people, Abraham examines queer culture in the modern Western world. She explores topics like drag, pride, gay clubs and marriage and the effects of commercialisation, capitalism and gentrification. I liked her writing style a lot, as well as her sense of humour. I also really enjoyed the combination of history, statistics and personal stories and found it to be an encouraging read.
