Reviews
"Petrey teases out the way the Mormon cosmos is profoundly queer, and the ways in which patriarchal, cis-normative, and assimilationist forces have suppressed and subverted that queerness. Academics, queer and trans Mormon activists, and their allies will find Petrey’s innovative intertwining of desire and kinship provocative."—Melissa M. Wilcox, University of California–Riverside
“Taylor Petrey’s argument placing kinship at the core of Mormon theology is innovative, deeply considered, and compelling. This book will stretch and challenge a wide variety of readers."—Patrick Q. Mason, Utah State University
