SUMMARY:Kate Bornstein and Caitlin Sullivan: Queer Love on the Run (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Join Generous Press and queer luminaries Kate Bornstein and Caitlin Sullivan to celebrate the launch of NEARLY ROADKILL: QUEER LOVE ON THE RUN. After a brief reading from the book\, the authors will chat with Generous publishers Elaina Ellis and Amber Flame about gender rebellion\, queer sex on the internet\, and the intersection of political resistance and happily ever after. \nIn this rowdy erotic cyber-romance originally written in the 1990s\, two people meet online and fall in love in every guise they can manage. As Scratch and Winc go from anonymous lovers to accidental heroes and gender outlaws\, they expose the shadowy Web stretched between technology and capitalist greed\, nearly becoming roadkill on the internet superhighway. With a little help from their friends including a brave teenager and a mysterious hacker\, these darling rebels fight government intervention and find chosen family in this eerily prescient tale. \nThe 30th anniversary “reboot” edition includes an updated lens for today’s readers\, as GenZ investigative journalist Drew uncovers what just might be the greatest queer love story of all time. Like Octavia Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER\, Margaret Atwood’s A HANDMAID’S TALE\, and George Orwell’s 1984\, the return of NEARLY ROADKILL is right on time with urgent lessons for our contemporary landscape. \nGenerous Press aims to please readers like you by publishing lush\, high-caliber romance fiction and other books about love by brilliant LGBTQ+\, BIPOC\, and disabled authors. Built on joy\, we are writing a world in which all people feel cherished and free. \nNEARLY ROADKILL is published in collaboration with Row House Publishing. \n  \nTo reserve a copy of NEARLY ROADKILL: QUEER LOVE ON THE RUN (Generous Press\, September 9\, 2025\, paperback\, $18.99) please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve Nearly Roadkill for October 19 event” in the subject line. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \nYou can also purchase Nearly Roadkill (click on title below) on our online shop at bookshop.com/shop/bgsqd: \nNearly Roadkill \n  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \nThe Bureau will solicit donations at the beginning of the event—we especially encourage donations from those who do not plan to purchase any books. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without a donation. \n\nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @BGSQD \nEven better: sign up to make a monthly tax-deductible donation to the Bureau! \n\nThank you for committing to sustaining this vital project! \n\n  \nKATE BORNSTEIN is a trans icon whose pioneering books about nonbinary gender\, GENDER OUTLAW and MY GENDER WORKBOOK\, are available in six languages and taught at hundreds of colleges. Kate’s 2006 book\, HELLO\, CRUEL WORLD: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens\, Freaks\, and Other Outlaws propelled them into an international position of advocacy for marginalized youth\, earning two citations of honor from the New York City Council. \n  \nCAITLIN SULLIVAN has written several plays\, 2 1/2 novels\, a comic book\, worked as a journalist\, and reported and edited for the Seattle Gay News for many years. She lives in a small rural town near a loud donkey and quiet cows. \n
