In addition to APE, I'd like to bring a new project to your attention. Sparkplug will be co-publishing a book called Gay Genius, edited/published by Annie Murphy who is currently doing a Kickstarter to get the funds together. Please take a look and consider this extremely worthwhile project and pass the word on:
