During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation.

And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America. And we must confront the disproportionate levels of poverty, homelessness, and unemployment in the LGBTQI+ community. And we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping LGBTQI+ people in America and around the world live free from violence. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights.

For those on the periphery of Pride — less go-go dancing on a float, more kicking the curb and gabbing about ways to dismantle the system — Michelle Tea is a badass ally. This is a cathartic, lyrical novel charting the interlocking love lives of several young people and an attempt to break the world record for the longest kiss ever. Jaigirdar captures so much of what it is to be a queer girl, a brown girl, a hairline fracture away from your normie classmates. At the book’s core is a well-wrought relationship between one trans woman who’s been out for ages and is kinda over it and one who hasn’t quite realized she’s trans yet. Fell, a gay playwright and TV writer, has worked as an interpreter for people like Arlo for decades, so he brings humor, sensitivity, depth, and intimate knowledge of the communities he writes about to this colorful yarn. So many narratives about being queer and brown are flat stories about the tension between living an authentic queer life and adhering to the oppressive traditions of your immigrant family. Tanaïs draws out the challenges of figuring out your own queerness that remain even if you live in a diverse, accepting world and what it means to live between Brooklyn and Bangladesh in a way that never flattens either place. There’s a queer romance in it, too, but what really grabbed me as a reader is a trans narrative that’s just sub-rosa, about the absolute churning horror of having to own and operate a human body. This book is a companion for anyone who has a relationship with food and the body, which, to be clear, is everyone. It made me reflect on the personal, shifting nature of shame as well as the myriad insidious ways heteronormativity and homophobia work to capitalize on it and how these things have evolved alongside expressions of pride today. This is a dream of a novel — the story is, among so many things, about family and its endless forms, about loves found and lost and reimagined. What I found particularly resonant is the tension it holds between pride and shame.
