Definitely gave me a perspective that I hadn't been exposed to before. I wasn't aware that respectability and assimilationist politics are basically having a chokehold on the queer movement.
This section could be strengthened with some essays on pinkwashing and homonationalism.
Rage or lack thereof:I agree with the hypocrisy of Choi and his unawareness of his economic privilege.Queer eyes on what prize:Opposed to military schools for children.
