Their frank, audacious, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking responses will resonate with readers from all walks of life. They offer a glimpse into the individual experiences that have quietly brought LGBTQ people together into a community. Through the voices of others, Tell Me About It 3 reveals who we are, what we share, and why we must never allow ourselves to be silenced again.
