Thanks for this, and thanks for the link to your review of David Eisenbach's book, which is truly important history.

I was hospitalized when you published that review, so I didn't see it, but I'm glad to have just had the chance to correct that.

I've also felt guilty this year for not producing much for Pride. Sometimes, I ask myself if I'm not strong enough, not optimistic enough to face up to the consequences of the anti-LGBTQ backlash.

I don't know.

I know Medium doesn't favor the kind of fierce advocacy that would seem to be required in these times, and I think maybe I've let that get to me.

It's always been a struggle to raise our voices against the mainstream. Maybe a little extra resolve is required today.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it all.
