PW: What would you like readers to take away from Ties That Bind?
SS: On the highest level, I would love readers to be inspired to re-think tired paradigms, and be encouraged by creative reimaginings of how we can live with more awareness and accountability. We are in such a fascinating and complex time now, and many ideas that were censored during the cultural freeze of the Bush era may have a chance to be heard. I would love for people to be invigorated by new ideas, and to enjoy them.
PW: The subtitle of your new book is Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences. What are some of those consequences?
