PositiveNOW Magazine (CA)As a thinker, lesbian activist Sarah Schulman runs the gamut from exhilarating to irritating. But that\'s what makes her so interesting ... It\'s a beautifully written screed (not a bad word in my books), but it does have its limitations ... Most of her commentary applies only to the U.S. ... The ideologue in Schulman loves to equate queer authenticity with marginalization. Her easy dismissal of those promoting gay marriage, for example, ignores the basic cruelty of discrimination ... Schulman shines when she taps her deep knowledge of the AIDS movement - she was a key founder of ACT Up - and the New York art scene to honour those artists who are gone and forgotten ... She can be brilliant.
