Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-27 00:00:00 John Mccall i was glad to read about queers and marriage in a way that didn't scream "hooray! acceptance! reform! tolerance!" though of course a lot of the writers do just that. i say, yes to those who really want to get married, and let the rest of us navigate our own non-institutionalized ways of sharing the bonds of love. it was comforting to read the unabashed opinions of radical queers, since i got the book from a book club offered through the advocate magazine (free subscription, why not? good for collage-making). in conclusion, may that neofascist, old-timey, hateful marriage amendment be shut down in november (mn and others)!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-15 00:00:00 James Smith It is very interesting to read this book 10 years after it was published, just after same sex marriage was legalized in Illinois (my state) to almost no public reaction. This anthology contained pieces that were very short to short, and it was written by a LOT of people, including probably a hundred people I hadn't heard of and a dozen that I had. Some of the pieces were really eye opening and engaging, some were fun, some were not. But since they were all short it was all good. A small number of pieces contained lines I find highly offensive... but after I had read the whole book I thought I understood why they were included, to wit, to avoid leaving out perspectives. There're a lot of them here. The bad part of this book is that put together it's almost 400 pages so I get 300 pages in and feel like I should be done with it by now.
