Quotes by Garrett Glaser (?)

“If I had to bottom-line my memoir, perhaps it's that the gay man who likes himself, who's comfortable with himself and who's loving of the world will enjoy a much richer and rewarding time of it as he moves through life.”
― Garrett Glaser, Fairyboy: Growing Up Gay and Out in Pre-Stonewall New York and Beyond
