This is a continuation of the experiment in imagining a map of a place as defined by the acts of Queer love and sex that happened there. What if our landmarks were not hills or rivers, or villages or railways, or borders and frontlines, but rather the places we kissed one another, touched one another, and made one another cum. How would the land feel if these echoes were preserved in a map? This second experiment also takes in acts of homophobic violence and exclusion.
