Not the Default: Essays on Sexuality
This collection serves as a playlist for queer life - each chapter title taken from a song. Through personal anecdote, history, pop culture, and social science, author Trevor Church explores what it means to grow up queer and be queer in today's society. He explores the political nature of being queer through legislation, experience, and depictions in media. He breaks up the serious subjects, like the AIDS epidemic in the eighties with humorous vignettes about the struggle of operating the junior high locker room as a queer person, and meaningful run-ins with celebrities. All come together in the end to paint a picture of what it's like to be queer in America. What this collection of short essays offers is a well-rounded look at queerness relatable to those who are queer, and informative for those who are not.
