A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation by Jacoby Ballard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
After months of trying to get myself to just finish this book, I'm finally deciding to DNF. 

I went into this thinking there'd be high level discussion of queerness and how it intersects with the spirituality of Buddhism. It has small moments of that. What it mostly is, is a preachy memoir that links all the authors stories with Buddhist teachings. 

I realized I should just dnf when I noticed all the things that resonated with me were paraphrases of people of color's work.
