The U.S.'s Massive Hunt to Find the Head Gay Person So They Could Find All the Gay People
I've finished: What We Are Seeking by Cameron Reed
This is a first contact novel in multiple forms.
There is very interesting alien biology and sentience to study and one of the main characters is a translator.
But there are also a number of human cultures that have been shaped by different environments and most of the novel observes them from an outsiders point of view.
This is a very anthropological novel in the vain of Le Guin. As a queer man from a poly-amorous matriarchal culture observes a monogamous patriarchal culture.
In the end this novel is about the freedom to become your true self. It is not utopian, there are downsides, but it is unrelenting in it's respect of consent.
I highly reccomend listening to the Wizards Vs. Lesbians bonus episode on What We Are Seeking ofr an in depth discussion of the novel.

Megan Rapinoe: WNBA media needs 'more understanding' for queer culture.
Sorry Megan,but the media is sexist and homophobic.
And racist.
That's why they hype and overhype the "golden girl" instead of promote teams like the Las Vegas Aces,who have dominated the WNBA. Teams that are mostly Black and queer.
And why they push for a ban on LGBTQ+ athletes in sports altogether.

"Rejection is not just an event. It is a trauma. It reshapes how young people understand safety, attachment, and worth.
