Description
Book Synopsis
Queering Representation explores what happens when LGBTQ people move out of the closet and into the political arena.
Trade Review
The authors do a great job of maintaining a balanced approach while engaging many seldom-explored issues. They force the reader to abandon their assumptions by examining the data and problematizing the issues raised by LGBTQ voters and representatives without reaching beyond the scope of the book. -- David Girard * Alternate Routes *
