Description
xA compelling comedy of polyamorous romance and nonbinary adventure, this reissue of The Giddy Death of the Gays and the Strange Demise of Straights--includes a Foreword by the author and an Afterword by noted queer writer Meg-John Barker.
Caroline and her Dom live out their normal lives amongst the poverty, alcoholics, and street preachers of Swansea, Wales. But when Dom and his straight roommate fall in love--a passionate, secret, non-sexual love--their lives are transformed into a queer chaos of cross-dressing, gender-bending and free love. Will Dom hold on to his relationship? Can religious fundamentalists be adopted as pets? And just what are The Lesbians up to? The ultimate battle between preachers and drag queens, skinheads and sex workers, boyfriend and girlfriend, is set to change the city forever.
