Queer 13: Lesbian And Gay Writers Recall Seventh Grade
Clifford Chase
Forward by Dale PeckSeventh grade: You remember it, don’t you? Sweet sixteen seemed impossibly far away, an elegant, unattainable future. All that we had was the doldrums of thirteen — not so sweet, and definitely queer.Now, some of the finest observers of the gay experience take us back to the homerooms and hallways of our youth, in a collection of original essays that captures that time of adolescence when social and sexual development was at its raging worst.From gym class to kissing parties, obsessive crushes to after-school pummelings, every day held the possibility of discovery — and complete humiliation. For those of us who are gay, our sexuality added another twist, that extra little way we didn’t quite fit in. It was a time of becoming who we truly are, a passage into adulthood that was as memorable as it was agonizing. Queer 13 tells these tales of teenage trauma — from funny to painful, reflective to literary — all ringing with the universal truths of a poignant, extraordinary time.
