3.0
Fiction
The Lily and the Horn by Catherynne M. Valente: 4.5/5

Retrofuturism and Agendered Fashion: What Will We Wear? by Ekaterina Sedia: 4/5
Eggplant and Unicorns by Mary Anne Mohanraj: 4/5
Girls on Boys on Boys by Ellen Kushner: 1.5/5
Average rating: 3.65/5. Bumping it down to an even 3/5 because the extremely liberal idea of "queer" littered throughout some of the non-fiction and interviews gave me acid reflux and a lot of the LGBTness in a lot of the stories was subtext which isn't what I'm looking for in an issue of something called "Queers Destroy Fantasy".
