these CWs aren't based on severity! I put them all in "graphic" bc I don't feel confident I remember exactly how severe each one was.therainbowshelf's review

This short audiobook collects a range of interviews and stories from queer people. The range of stories from devastating (see the boy who’s mom took him into the woods and said she’d shoot him out there if he was gay) to uplifting (see the teen who’s farmer dad told him not to hide because he’s not in the wrong) was interesting, and it was interesting hearing about the Stonewall interview project as well. Lots of voices missing, though.

Short and lovely stories of queer humans and their lives - I especially liked the segment on Stonewall. Just wanted more.

Outloud was a series of short interviews by people in the LGBTQ community. Most of the stories just made me sad but of course, it was due to their families being hateful and mean when it came to their sexuality. But there were also really great stories. What a great end to Pride month!

I started crying immediately and it’s a beautiful and often sad and often empowering collection of memories. The documentary at the end was v fascinating. Stonewall, whew.

This is the second audiobook to make me cry. And I cried for a solid half hour, sometimes because I was sad and sometimes because I was happy. It was a very emotional time, but I'm glad I listened to some of these voices that make the world we live in diverse and interesting and worth living in.
