I didn't realise it was aimed at children/teenagers/young adults, hence all the stories being very... inspiring, I guess? All happy endings all around, anyway. It's interesting enough, though I'm definitely the wrong audience for it. I did really enjoy the stories of older activists and elders, though, especially one from a gay man who was at the Stonewall Inn the night of the riot. He talks about the riot, but also about growing up in seventies New York in a very traditional Sicilian family who didn't know what to make of him but weren't necessarily unaccepting. In her last years, his Sicilian grandmother had drag queens come to the house and sing her to sleep. That image alone is worth the price of admission.
