Good information, but damn could it have used another round of editing.
Also, while I understand what he was trying to do, comparing communities of queer kids on the internet to militant Islamic terrorists in Chapter 13 is maybe not the best look, my dude. It reeks of a lack of empathy and critical thinking. Again, I understand what he was trying to do, but it was clumsy and poorly executed; success would have required a LOT more nuance and care. Hopefully this is another thing that would have been caught in the edit, but still.
