Queer Twin Cities

“I see so much in Queer Twin Cities of my own experience as a citified queer made by the metropolitan American Midwest. This unprecedented and engrossing book descends into the diverse nexus of so-called flyover country, complicating and elucidating the intersecting histories of a vibrant urban people who claim our place queerly in the middle.” —Barrie Jean Borich, author of My Lesbian Husband

“This exemplary collection, which blends the riveting storytelling of first-person experience with passionate analysis and determined archival sleuthing is a model of politically engaged research that offers a fascinating window onto an under-appreciated aspect of two great Midwestern cities.” —Susan Stryker, Associate Professor of Gender Studies, Indiana University-Bloomington
