now considered normal. And at the talkback I did after a play, Last Sunday in
June, audiences noticed that gay relationships face similar jealousies and devo-
tions as heterosexual ones.
This book is important to so many public and professional groups, as the chap-
ters present new perspectives and models about the LGBT community, espe-
cially important today in our political and social media climate. Chapter
contributors introduce us to many terms some may find new or unfamiliar, such
as “sexual nonconformity,” “cisgender,” and “intersectionality” (an important
term related to diversity) and even LGBTIQQA+—an acronym I have taught
in my classes. As the authors themselves conclude, that there is still so much
more to explore, I wonder what letters can be added to that acronym, as more
insights come to light in this important field.
