Generation Q

Generation Q - young gays, lesbians, and bisexuals born around 1969's Stonewall riots - is a culture made up of vibrant, diverse people who live in the fragmented end of the twentieth century, surrounded by a glut of information, instant gratification, and at once terrifying and fantastic possibilities for the future.

In the words of one contributor, they have inherited "a virus, wrecked communities, memorials, the NAMES quilt, clinical trials, and the AIDS industry as a viable and 'noble' career choice." Yet these young men and women also possess joy, visibility, power, astonishingly strong support networks, and previously unimaginable freedoms. They exist within contradictions, and this amazing collection of true stories captures their unique experiences.
