For two years Philip Gambone traveled across the United States talking with LGBTQ people about their lives. Alongside interviews with David Sedaris, George Takei, Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin are lesser-known voices: a retired Naval officer, a transgender scholar and drag king, a Princeton philosopher, two opera sopranos who are lovers, an indie rock musician, the founder of a gay fraternity and a pair of Vermont garden designers, all of whom have built passionate lives despite prejudice and indifference.
