"Adler invites us to shift priorities, focusing on the poorest and most marginalized sectors of our communities while at the same time resisting and challenging the prototypical frames of gay identity-the picket-fenced same-sex headed household. . . .

[A] timely reminder that the legacy of Stonewall is still unfolding." - Scott Skinner-Thompson (Slate) "<i>Gay Priori</i> will stimulate its readers’ imaginations. It will challenge its readers, even when they close Adler’s pages, to look outside their field of vision and ask themselves what ideas of sexual justice and other kinds they rule out as unimaginable." - Robert Leckey (Sexualities)
