I Do/I Don't: Queers on Marriage

3.5/5 ( ratings)

This anthology collects a diverse array of queer voices on the subject of marriage: including poetry, prose, personal essays, nonfiction, interviews, vows, rants, love letters, sermons, photography, sketches, cartoons, and doodles. Silly to serious. In favor and against. Yay and nay, in between, neither, or D) all of the above. I DO/I DON'T: QUEERS ON MARRIAGE includes writing by Patrick Califia, Margaret Cho, Robert Gluck, Eileen Myles, David Rosen, Carol Queen, Mattilda a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore, and zak szymanski.

In 2001 the Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage. Belgium soon followed the Dutch lead and in 2003 several Canadian provinces were added to this list. In 2004 several US states began marrying same-sex couples until a legal injunction stopped the spread. George Bush has now stated that he will back a constitutional amendment to ban these marriages permanently. Everyone has an opinion on this subject, most of which never get heard. I Do / I Don't aims to rectify this by giving a platform from which gays, and their opinions, can be heard. Material used comes from such disparate sources as poetry, fiction, personal essays, non-fiction stories, interviews, photographs, sketches and letters. There are also over 100 contributors including Patrick Califia, Margaret Cho, Greg Herren, Leslea Newman and Judy Wieder.
