| Proud Pink Sky | comment |
A 2023 work of speculative fiction by Redfern Jon Barrett set in the world's first gay state.Breaking down the binary between Utopia and Dystopia, Proud Pink Sky is a work of ‘ambitopia’ – which takes place in an alternate Berlin, a gay metropolis of 24 million people. Different gay and lesbian subcultures have their own districts, while bi, trans, and queer residents are forced into ghettos on the outskirts of the city.The novel follows two sets of protagonists: William and Gareth flee to the city when their relationship is discovered, while Cissie and her husband have lived in Berlin for six years. The story follows each character as tensions between Berlin’s LGBTQ+ residents come to a head. | |
