reviewed From gay to queer on August 20, 2015 From gay to queer
Great book with very academic and eye-opening statements. The author purposefully uses difficult language to articulate a point that has not previously been made. Canonical sociology, as well as canonical literature is something that we don't notice or pay much thought to. However, it juxtaposes a lot of history that is roots for where we are today, as people and as a nation. I encourage anyone who is interested in learning about the notions and ideology that surrounds us everyday to read this book. Like the water fish swim in, or the air we breathe, some things encompass all of what we know, but we fail to see or realize that.
