Divided into 16 topics, including "All Things Queer," "Naming Ourselves," and "Queer History," with quotes range from the touching to the bitingly funny, with some healthy stops along that way that prompt a reader to think. However, all the quotes have . "Funny and thorough" according to S. Smith. The quotations in this book range from the supportive to the philosophical to the hilarious to the critical.
