"Offering a journey through different forms of intimacy, this book offers a great read for understanding the arrival and future for the queer citizen. Detailing how the publicity of privacy is lived via polyromanticism, homonationalism, violence, friendships and domesticity and class, this collection of intimate lives offer rare glimpses into relations not usually seen, known or understood." -
