The S & S Bar and Grill A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798308422556)

In the early 2000s in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, Lynn Sprout filed a sexual orientation discrimination complaint against one of the largest and most powerful employers in the city. Her case became national news, sending shock waves through the local LGBTQ+ community in the case that set a historic precedent in the fight for civil rights and Family Medical Leave for same-sex couples.

In this poignant memoir, you'll meet the woman behind the headlines. Prior to becoming Urbana-Champaign's most famous lesbian, Lynn's life had been a rollercoaster of a happy childhood followed by tragic loss, traumatic events, and life on the run with her partner Linda and their eight children.

Lynn's story is deeply moving with its fair share of humor and vividly colorful characters. The S & S Bar and Grill is the tale of how a shy, sheltered, closeted girl became a woman who stood up for herself and the rights of LGBTQ+ people everywhere.
