Description
"A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of letters between Jane Rule--novelist and the first widely recognized "public lesbian" in North America--and Rick Be bout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic, an important incubator of LGBT thought and activism. Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island but wrote a column for the magazine. Be bout resided in and was devoted to Toronto's gay village. At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, show more their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life even as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues of the '80s and '90s, including HIV/AIDs, censorship, and state policing of desire."-- show lessTags

LOVE. Read this book. It is one of the best books on LGBTQ people and our history that I have read. The reader is transported back to the time these letters were written and it's incredible.
