It was at the point that I DNFd this - trying to out other human beings is gross to me. We all come out on our own time or we don’t - respect others choices regarding the communication of their sexual identities. spiritedstardust | Dec 29, 2022 |  ) Ellen-Simon | Jun 27, 2022 | Highlights include a run-in with the FBI and the magical thinking displayed in an essay condemning Perez Hilton for outing gay people while discussing her own career looking for LGBTQIA+ Easter eggs in the lyrics and life of Taylor Swift. (  ) villemezbrown | May 29, 2022 | Thank you so much to netgalley and publishers for providing an advanced e-copy for me to read and rate honestly.

"Perfect for fans of Samantha Irby and Trick Mirror, a funny, whip-smart collection of personal essays exploring the intersection of queerness, relationships, pop culture, the internet, and identity, introducing one of the most undeniably original new voices today.Jill Gutowitz's life-for better and worse-has always been on a collision course with pop culture. There's the time the FBI showed up at her door because of something she tweeted about Game of Thrones. The pop songs that have been the soundtrack to the worst moments of her life. And of course, the pivotal day when Orange Is the New Black hit the airwaves and broke down the door to Jill's own sexuality. In these honest examinations of identity, desire, and self-worth, Jill explores perhaps the most monumental cultural shift of our lifetimes: the mainstreaming of lesbian culture. Dusting off her own personal traumas and artifacts of her not-so-distant youth she examines how pop culture acts as a fun house mirror reflecting and refracting our values-always teaching, distracting, disappointing, and revealing us. Girls Can Kiss Now is a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud humor. This timely collection of essays helps us make sense of our collective pop-culture past even as it points the way toward a joyous, uproarious, near-and very queer-future"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

As a queer millennial who grew up chronically online, obsessed with pop culture, music, horror movies, and experienced a lot of the same coming of age type of events that Jill Gutowitz writes about in this collection of essays.. I really enjoyed this. A lot of the lower reviews seem to be coming from Gen Z readers who were not familiar with many of the references or found Jill's writing to be a little "too millennial" but I don't entirely feel like Gen Z was the intended audience of these essays anyway. This book isn't perfect, but I found many of the essay to be deeply relatable, entertaining, and nostalgic. I don't typically read a lot of comedic books, but this worked for me and was a lot of fun.
