Description

In these wide-ranging and probing conversations, amazing people share their personal and professional stories along with their profound commitment to freedom and equality. GISELE ALICEA, (AKA GISELE XTRAVAGANZA) fashion model: "Transgender people are real people. We have mothers. We have fathers. . . .We have families. We have somewhere that we came from."

CARYS MASSARELLA, emergency physician: "Being transgender is not biologically hazardous." CARMEN CARRERA, performer and fashion model: "We are one human race. Some women have penises. Some men have vaginas. What's the big deal?" ELEGANCE BRATTON, filmmaker: "There is such a massive gap in understanding between what has been sold as the gay life and what has been the experience of gay people of color." ANDRE ST. CLAIR, actor: "You can refer to me as male or female. As long as you're not doing it disrespectfully, I'll respond." Y-LOVE, hip hop artist: "You can only have unity through diversity. Otherwise, it's just homogeneity." ANDREW SOLOMON, author: "I think there is a tyranny of the norm. . . .

A wonderful collection of interviews and stories of everyday people. Absolutely engaging and enlightening. This book opens one's eyes to the fact that we are all, all of us, gay, straight, bi, trans, simply human. Wonderful read.

I appreciated the honest conversations in this book. It is unfortunate that the world we live in has people who are intolerant of others. This book opened my eyes about the struggles LGBT people face. While we might have differences in sexuality and identity, we all share the need of wanting to be loved and accepted.
