It's so hard to describe how home I felt reading this book. As a young queer person myself it's so indescribably beautiful to how about my queer ancestors, the people that paved the way to the world of today, that I have the privilege of living in. As a citizen of Germany I am a member of the queer community that has a lot of privileges and still there is so much work to be done! And I love seeing that energy and how it always existed and isn't dying down. 
Viewing the world through a queer lense has been eye opening for me. I finally feel like I could actually be free. This book is one of the tools I had, also including talking to queer people a lot more and surrounding myself with my community, that made me feel like I'm opening my eyes for the first time again! 
Thank you for all the people that did such a beautiful job capturing this eventful time and emphasizing that this moment is still very much alive.
