Queereaders discussion

Hello everyone! My name is Emerson and I'm super new to goodreads. I'm looking to expand my repertoire of books beyond poetry and classics into queer lit and queer history, primarily. I was an avid reader for many years and it fell by the wayside due to university and demanding work, but I'm all about building healthy habits lately and I've been getting well into reading again.

I'm looking for friends that are queer and like reading queer books! Nice to meet everyone!

hey emerson! i’m gigi (ignore how my name says otherwise, it’s my deadname but i’m friends with my mom on here so i can’t change it) and i’m trans (ftm) and mlm! i’d love to become friends with you, you honestly seem really cool :)

hey nice to meet you both! I'm Ren and I would love to be your friend and chat about (queer) books ^^

👋

Hi Ren!!! Thank you for the comment and the friend request. I'm excited to see what you're reading :)

I don't think a lot of y'all will read a gay man's memoir of life under the theocracy in Iran. You should, because it's where this fascist nightmare in the US is headed unless you resist it. The Ayatollah's Gaze: A Memoir of the Forbidden and the Fabulous

This sounds like an incredibly valuable perspective on a poorly studied and generally underrepresented demographic identity. I have done sparse amounts of research on queerness in Islamic societies in school, and this memoir promises to offer truly invaluable insight into the lives of queer Iranians. Thank you for the recommendation, I look forward to reading this.

Hi, Emerson. I'd be interest in knowing your thoughts on this memoir. Thank you for publicise this memoir, Richard. I also gave it 3 stars and would highly recommend to people interested in the subject without the most horrifying accounts of the regime.

I will definitely read it 📚 I find Iran a fascinating country and I also have a soft spot for Iranian men and Iranian cinema 🎬

I have added it to my list and I will keep you updated. Sounds absolutely gripping 🌹

Let's do that :) I would be honored to hear yThrough the Fleshour thoughts on my book.

Will deffo read it, tnx
