I don’t need to tell you how terrible this year has been in ways none of us could have predicted in advance. Nor am I particularly interested in the silver linings of horror and pain.

And this year, it’s undeniable that many great books by queer and LGBTQ+ authors have made their way into the world- both a joyful thing…
If you are a queer person, sex can be pretty frightening because we aren’t taught about safe sexual practices during sex ed in school.
