The Queer Advantage: Conversations with LGBTQ+ Leaders on the Power of Identity by Andrew Gelwicks
2.0
I received an ARC of this from the publisher for early review. This one was not for me. I appreciated the diverse cast, but each interview is so short it didn’t feel like any one person had enough space to articulate anything meaningful. I also felt like there was this weird reoccurring thread of “how did you successfully tokenize your sexuality so you could make a lot of money?” The real life queer advantage is a radical power to reject society’s typical benchmarks for success - not using our identities to only frame success within the context of cishet patriarchal world.
