writerbeverly's review against another edition
4.0
Reread this book recently, and although LGBTQ rights have come a HUGE way, it is an interesting look at the political atmosphere as it used to be. Set in the late 1970's in NYC, it poses the following questions: what if a former beauty queen was a conservative Christian with big political aspirations ( a la Anita Bryant) and hugely influential? What the father who bankrolled her was a closeted gay man? What if you could be fired from the police force for being gay - or called upon to suppress "those faggots" protesting for their rights?
It's very well written and kept me riveted to the page, even though I know the ending (regarding gay rights).
