Wow. It feels like it is trying to be dystopian but it’s wild in the fact that you can absolutely imagine it happening. The idea that straight people will be affected by something in the universe and need a vaccine but queer people will remain sane but now targets. As with most things chuck tingle it has really deep messages hidden in wild and out there antics. It was dark and as a queer person, full of triggers. But I found it poignant and at the end, I was so glad I read it.
