There's the time the FBI showed up at her door because of something she tweeted about \u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e. The pop songs that have been the soundtrack to the worst moments of her life. And of course, the pivotal day when \u003ci\u003eOrange Is the New Black \u003c\/i\u003ehit the airwaves and broke down the door to Jill's own sexuality. In these honest examinations of identity, desire, and self-worth, Jill explores perhaps the most monumental cultural shift of our lifetimes: the mainstreaming of lesbian culture. Dusting off her own personal traumas and artifacts of her not-so-distant youth she examines how pop culture acts as a fun house mirror reflecting and refracting our values--always teaching, distracting, disappointing, and revealing us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGirls Can Kiss Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud humor. This timely collection of essays helps us make sense of our collective pop-culture past even as it points the way toward a joyous, uproarious, near--and very queer--future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJill Gutowitz is a writer from New Jersey.
