Seguramente este era y es un libro importante, pero a la vez me da pena que un libro bastante anticuado todavía puede tener relevancia hoy en día.

Y obviamente no soy la audiencia prevista. Para una persona “lesbiana y gay” (hay por lo menos dos personas a los quienes pertenecen a otras letras en el gran acrónimo, pero así son los libros de los noventa), se cansa leer cuento tras cuento de padres u otros familiares diciendo tonterías cissexistas y queerfóbicas aún cuando se elogian por su tolerancia acerca de sus hijes.

Pues nada. Probablemente tiene utilidad todavía, pero deseo que no fuera el caso, y además que hubiera un texto más reciente y comprensivo.
