“Many people from all over the world have stories, memories, and dreams about the Castro. Stories about how the neighborhood has marked a milestone in their development, made them who they are, altered their lives. Perhaps they came from a small town and spread their wings sexually, politically, creatively. Perhaps they came to town single and partnered here. Perhaps they came of age here, in one way or another, as they bore witness to the history created here. The stories in this collection are powerful, poignant, and important. And representative of many.”
