Miss Major has been every there and done every that and is still ticking and kicking ass. First hand lived experience of the last 60 years of queer history told with joyful shamelessness and tender affection. Here's a book that deserves to be on every high school history curriculum reading list.

omx, the content warnings are just TILIFI (read the book to learn what that means). Miss Major has survived all of this and more and still the overall tone of the book is positive and hopeful.
