#39 Read a banned book during Banned Books Week (Sept 27- Oct 3)
I like David Levithan's work and this was no exception. I thought this work was very powerful because it wasn't just from an omnipresent POV, it was from an Omnipresent POV of those who came before. Those who lived the life of the gay culture of the past and knew the struggles and looked into the new generation to live vicariously through them (to suffer with them through the bad and celebrate with them in the good) while keeping in mind their own struggles.
It brings up important topics that should not be forgotten about the LGBTQ+ movement in years past like the rioting, intolerance, AIDS epidemic, gay-bashing... and how that all still exists today, just in different forms (and some even in the same forms).
This is a very good book and I am so glad that I read it.
