While my latest book percolates in the public sphere, I'm at work on the next two. The next: a look at the impact of television news during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. "The Queer Revolution Was Televised," Rutgers University Press, due late 2026 or early 2027. (Photo: ACT UP protest in Atlanta, 1/90.)

Sotomayor cares about the law's effect on the people it most directly affects. Her dissent will be the core of any overturning of Skrmetti that may come one day.

One of the highest compliments I received while working on my new book came during the libel review. "Are you a lawyer," the legal reader asked. She said I'd taught her a few things about the law.

This resonates even more deeply. I've done the work. (And didn't have to go to law school!)
