Abstract:
〈P〉〈EM〉In Solidarity: Friendship, Family, and Activism Beyond Gay and Straight〈/EM〉 shows what being an ally (in this case to LGBTQ+ persons and communities) requires, means, and does. Through prose, poetry, performance text, and film, the work takes readers inside relationships across sexual orientation and serves as an exemplar of activist scholarship. In Solidarity makes a unique and compelling contribution to courses on LGBTQ+ studies, sexualities, gender, identity, relationships, or the family.〈/P〉
