Out of the Ordinary
Essays on Growing Up with Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Parents
Noelle Howey and Ellen Samuels, editors
Essays by Sophia Gould, Tristan Taormino, Julie Diana Rawley, Noelle Howey, Peter Snow, Stefan Lynch, Kelly Conway, Jennifer DiMarco, Morgan Green, Ellen Samuels, Jeffrey Wright, Christopher Helay, Ian Wheeler-Nicholson, Maria De La O, Meema Spades, Laurie Cicotello, Rivka Solomon, Meagan Rosser, Laura Zee, Kris Giesing, Becky Parker, and Alysia Abbott It would be impossible for me to come up with a description of these essays that would cover all of them. Some are written from a distance, some about the recent past. Some are written warmly, and some remember abusive parents. Some of the authors write in light of their own sexual leanings, and some write without comparing themselves to their parents. Some write of their problems with their parents, and some write about their peers' problems with their parents. Some don't write about problems. Wait a minute, I can make a generalization: the writing style is universally professional, due to the editors' influence.
Happy reading.
