Original title: "Gli svergognati. Vite di gay, lesbiche, trans... storie di tutti" (The shameless. Lives of gays, lesbians, trans... Everyone's stories) by Delia Vaccarello.
The book tells the true stories of ten people who have stopped being ashamed and are finally living their lives as lesbian, transgender, and gay people.
A wife leaves her husband to live with her, a transgender person writes to her son explaining that she can no longer call him dad, a twenty-year-old woman falls in love with a peer via email, a transgender man describes the journey towards an undoubtedly male identity: these are some of the stories told in the book.
Love for the person who belongs to one's own sex or the search for a gender identity other than that written in the forms of the body are considered transgressions with respect to the recognized normality. The book wants to place the stories of people defined as gay, lesbian, transgender in the open sea of life, tracing as the only possible frame a space to live equal for all. Not stories of different people, but stories of people.
