Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States by Samantha Allen

emotional hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

3.5

I really enjoyed this book. Although I kind of wish she would have gone to some smaller places. Jackson, Bloomington, and Johnson City are small cities,but still cities. But maybe I'm just thinking that because even though I'm in a purple state, in my small town it is deep red. She interspersed the trip with stories of her own journey, which were interesting.  And the story at its heart was hopeful to see the fighting against the tide in these places and surviving and thriving.
