Edited by Ariel Gore and including a new story from me! Portland, Oregon is a queer city in the queerest state in the US. It's also a place where, like anywhere in this country, you can experience phobia, violence, and discrimination. Out of these contradictions burst this sparkling collection of first-person stories, a heady mix of fiction and fact, contributors from across the queer spectrum and beyond, serving vulnerability, humor, and realness.  Pre-order from Microcosm Press now!
