THIS SHIT IS SO PEAK. as a young lesbian it's both amazing and painful to know queers have thought the same and dealt with the same for as long as humanity has been alive, knowing how much we have regressed as a society since the 90s APPARENTLY. i grTHIS SHIT IS SO PEAK. as a young lesbian it's both amazing and painful to know queers have thought the same and dealt with the same for as long as humanity has been alive, knowing how much we have regressed as a society since the 90s APPARENTLY. i grew up with the show Friends as an immigrant latina and it was an insightful look into the privileged white inhabitants of the city, that showed me the first on-screen lesbian wedding AND lesbian relationship?! it changed my life forever. actually, an author from this book, Lea Delaria, is actually IN the wedding episode (she's the shortie butch asking Phoebe out). reading this book and taking in that show plus the multitude of other queer 90s happenings (RuPaul, drag queens, RENT, hiv education, etc), it really puts things into perspective and it makes me so emotional. lesbians have really been as silly as we are for an eternity :'). queers have been sarcastic and ironic and cracking jokes at how awful life is to us since forever, every page and every experience is so damn comforting. i do wish it had more people of color, but i'll do my own specific book search for that. some lines in this book genuinely feel like modern twitter one-liners or just something my friend would say out of the blue. it's truly timeless if you belong to the community. i appreciate all the authors in this and all queers that existed before me because without them, i and all my friends and all queer people that came after them, would not be here. <3...more
