At once a love letter to the Rose City and a dream of escape, the first-person narratives of Portland Queer reveal the contradictions and commonalities of life in one of the world’s great queer meccas. A waiter falls in love with a straight guy from the café next door. A young dyke discovers gay karaoke at the Silverado. A pregnant man prepares for new life transitions. An ambitious teenager finds her tribe at St. Mary’s Academy. A closet-case is confronted by his wife. And a video-game addict takes a chance on love. This collection features stories by Dexter Flowers, Kathleen Bryson, David Ciminello, Tony Longshanks, Lois Leveen, Megan Kruse, and Stevie Anntonym, among many others.
