I'm finding that, nowadays, it's dudes and dykes alike who are all assimilationist, all the time. AND THAT BLOWS. I feel like these authors probably knew/blew someone who worked at Alyson Books and were given the chance to write the book based simply on the fact that they live in Silver Lake and knew the lead singer from Extra Fancy or something. @jacquelinemary :

How do you not pay due respects to GB Jones or Bruce LaBruce?? Glad to know that you, too, think that they deserved the reaming. I was a bit worried that maybe I was just being too hard on them.

I have considered going through it and doing an ex-post-facto fact check but it seems like there might be more errors than correct informtion in it.
