Mr. Elvis1 editions

This minicomic interrogates media representations of rural queer people in America, identifying common stereotypes of white homosexual men men dying, victim-blaming, and a belief that cities are safer for queer people than rural areas. The zine addreses how police brutality and gentrification can contribute to unsafe urban spaces. There are short profiles of Brandon Teena, Matthew Shepard, Marco McMillian, Sakia Gunn, and Islan Nettles. The zine includes profiles and discussion of queer intentional communities, including the Sojourners Land Movement, Idyll Dandy Acres, and the lesbian land movement. There are biographies of the authors, who are a Ph.D. student and a librarian, and a resource list.
