Cover of John Grindrod’s fantastic book Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains. A black and white image by Sunil Gupta from 1985 of a gay couple embracing each other in small kitchen fills the orange cover.

A remarkable book. A history of LGBTQ+ lives in suburbia that made me angry, sad, happy, full of regrets and hopes. I’m an elder on the fringes of a city, becoming invisible but this reminds me how important it is to be seen, wherever you live. It’s time to tell our own stories. #Booksky #LGBTQ+
