This book is incredible! As a member of the LGBTQ community in North America, I've read many books that focus on Stonewall and the experiences of LGBTQ Americans but this book pulled together LGBTQ experiences from around the world in a way that I've never seen done before. In addition to the powerful stories from a wide variety of places, this book also was incredibly respectful of how people personally identified and what terms they used, as well as the different cultural conventions and the fact that the terms and slang of the modern LGBTQ communities isn't the same as it was in the past or may be in the future. Not only are the stories amazing and the respect given by the author unparalleled, the writing is also exceptional! This is an LGBTQ nonfiction book that should be read far and wide.

I enjoyed reading several aspects of this book! The pacing was wonderful, characters were well drawn, and the reading experience on the whole was delightful.
