Summary

"Eating Fire is an inside look at a rainbow of relationships, sexual and otherwise, that gay, lesbian, and transgendered people create to animate their lives: lovers, partners, parents/kids, quick tricks, torrid affairs, sweethearts, crushes, exes, friends, bottoms and tops, three-somes, butches and fems, bears, cubs and johns." "Based on hundreds of intimate conversations across Canada, Eating Fire explores the deepest intimacies of life: sex, love, loneliness, abuse, power and consent, giving birth, death, being a wo/man, pleasure, fear, joy - risks and rewards of creating family without boundaries."--Jacket.
