“This book represents a snapshot of that moment when queers weren’t obsessed with tying the knot of picking up a rifle to go off and fight ‘terrorists.’ Revolution was in the air.”
- Tommi Avicolli Mecca, Editor

These essays by dykes, drag queens, transsexuals, and queers of colour, who built the radical movement of sexual minorities in the 1960s and ’70s, provide often overlooked insights into modern queer history and useful lessons for today’s generation Q activists.
