In this Pride month, I am proud that I am LGBTQ. I just wished I would have had the courage to come out when I was younger.

My recs for new readers who want to try Edmund White: For fiction: A Boy's Own Story or The Beautiful Room is Empty. Gorgeous. He loved Proust. You'll feel that. To get to know him and his times: Any memoir, but especially City Boy. If you want to throw a book in outrage, then run to pick it up...>

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Edmund White helped so many writers - writing in so many languages - find courage and a path to being read, such a generous and hard working leader. @worldkidlit.bsky.social

RIP Edmund White, who, apart from being a brilliant writer, was also a very kind and funny man. He will be missed by all his many friends and readers.

"Anyone who ever let me in his body or arms I still feel grateful to. That's why so many of my friends are old lovers, I suppose. And that includes, these days, dying and dead friends as well, to whom the flesh, my flesh, still connects me." Edmund White, The Beautiful Room is Empty, 1988

It’s not an understatement to say his kindness and generosity changed the course of my life and career.

There are so many ways in which Edmund White was remarkable. I want to point out two. The first is that he wrote about sex more, and more avidly and explicitly, than any other major gay writer. It was core to his identity. He left nothing out. He dared you to flinch at it. (I flinched many times.) >

Happy Pride. Take a few minutes to listen to some queer voices of the past. Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.
