I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
The complete summary.
All we know of the world is the fight for gay rights and what many homosexuals do to overcome this war against them. The fight for gay people who are not allowed to have the same marriage rights and freedoms as people of heterosexuality easily do. It is how life goes, in some places gay marriage is banned and considered not only unholy, but illegal.
However, literature is riddled with stories of alternate universes and different places, a place where this book takes place. In this setting, Katherine and Markus have only known a life where gay people ruled, everywhere they looked, and some places have banned straight marriage, considering it “unconventional and overbearing”.
It has been two hundred years since The Wars took place, the wars that lasted nearly twenty years, causing the ultimate solution. Complete dominance. When The Wars began, it was a revolution, the LGBT community rose against the Heterosexuals, apparently they were being treated extremely wrongly and they would no longer stand for it. They warred for many days and many nights, and the underdogs- those who were gay and otherwise… well, different, won.
Afraid of what would happen with the idea of living together peacefully, the current leader Dr. Blackpool decided that complete overruling would occur. Gays could live peacefully, while showing straight people exactly what happened. Thus the roles reversed.
All Katherine has ever known was dominance from the gay parents, orphanages and fertility clinics all over were popular and when someone came out as straight, it was constant bullying, for simply being different. Only stories of happiness were passed down, Katherine, a closeted heterosexual, has known Markus all of her life. Mark, as she called him, was four when he came out as straight, and Katy hasn’t been able to get over that. She dreamt every night of a life where they could be together without so much hate towards them.
She also dreamt of a life, as the history books told, of a time where heterosexual people were as accepted as the gay people of this time were.
When she finally told him of her secret, it was time to plan.
A plan to get away and for once; not be judged for who they were.
