@celestialbookshelf “It’s as if the more visible LGBTQIAP+ people become, the harder the heterosexual community attempts to apply new norms. I think the majority fear becoming the minority, and so they will do anything and everything to protect their power.” All Boys Aren’t Blue is a memoir and a manifesto wrapped into one. A voice for the so long underrepresented and a call to action within the same breath. So much has already been said about this one, but I felt it was an important feature nonetheless! iamgmjohnson is a crucial voice. Finding your place in this world is hard enough, and mainstream media not representing intersectionality and diversity with the same vigor they plaster cis/het white bodies all over the place certainly doesn’t help. Johnson helps to begin to fill this gap with this read and it is such an important one💙 Thank you iamgmjohnson for sharing your story, your vulnerabilities, and your truths with the world.
