Growing up Queer in Australia - Edited by Benjamin Law

I bought this a year ago from Melbourne with the idea that I would add it to my senior years (Year 10-12) library. I started reading and immediately thought "this is good, but not suitable for high school students." There a plenty of R-rated and graphic descriptions, particularly of a sexual nature that while I didn't mind, I could not in good conscience have in my classroom. I would, however, keep this as a teacher resource and use excerpts from it in my classes where appropriate.
​
Towards the end of the book, I was craving a solid full length story that was more than 5-10 pages so finishing this was rather painful. I'm glad I read it, not sure I would read it again in a hurry.
