The first chapter could be used as an introduction text for straights in the GLBTQ studies classroom, the fourth could be used by writing teachers to better interrogate how they teach critical thinking skills. The Afterword could benefit anyone with any interest in feminism, gay rights or gay politics, lesbian rights or lesbian politics, or the politics of personal choice or even child raising; it's a conversation between two people, and very clear about the intersectionality of all of these.
As for the rest of the book... meh. Not really worth reading or assigning. I was hoping for theory and I just got a bunch of varyingly interesting and varyingly pompous queer readings of unimportant texts and some self-important straights thinking about how queer they are. Too bad, really, since the editor and driving force behind the book really seems intelligent, interesting, and aware.
