In 1969 being gay in the United States was a crim- inal offense. It meant living a closeted life or surviving on the fringes of society. The Stonewall Inn, a Mafia-run, filthy, overpriced bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, was one of them.” (Publisher’s note) “Bausum begins her history of the gay rights movement with a careful, detailed exposition of the June 1969 Stone- wall riots, laying out the events leading up to the clash be- tween the Greenwich Village gay community and the police and putting those events in the context of time and place. She dedicates the first half of the book to the riots them- selves, drawing on reports, interviews, and other first-person accounts to put together a candid linear narrative that takes into consideration the perspectives of both sides of the con- flict. . . . Bausum writes with the precision of a journalist; there is never any doubt as to what she wonders, what she conjectures, and what she knows.” Horn Book Includes filmography and bibliographical references (pages 111-115) and index Dawson, James « This Book Is Gay; by James Dawson (Au- thor), David Levithan (Introduction) Sourcebooks Inc 2015 272 p. illustrations (pbk.) $9.99 Grades: 9 10 11 12 306.76 1.

Beyond that, diversity is the order of the day, and the result is a vivid demonstration of how extraordinarily broad the spectrum of sexual identity is among today’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. . . . Insightful, extraor- dinarily well written, and emotionally mature, the selections offer compelling, dramatic evidence that what is important is not what we are but who we are.” Booklist The gender quest workbook; a guide for teens and young adults exploring gender identity.

While this isn’t the best acquisition for libraries (it is truly a workbook), librarians would do well to be informed of its availability.” LJ Hill, Katie Rain Rethinking normal; a memoir in transition. by Katie Rain Hill.
