Shut Up and Love the Rain

In Shut Up and Love the Rain, Oakland-based zinester Robnoxious takes along his path from early sexual exploration to his current sex-positive, constantly-deprogramming, über-healthy queerness! Rob's writing and comics show us that experimentation should start early, that guilty pleasures needn't be guilty, and that talking it over and being honest with each other will lead to nothin' but good. Over the course of 64 pages you get personal history and sex/queer-related reviews. There's hilarious, illuminating essays, intimate accounts of relationships outside the margins, and a touching, inspiring interview with Rob's parents after his father came out as transgendered. Subheadlined “To Queer Anarchist Happiness Thru Good Living,” Rob's brand-new comix and writing zine is just that—happy, living well, queer and anarchist and damn proud!
