Reviews

[Josiah Sanchez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Regardless of where a person is in their LGBTQ journey, this book is worth a quick read. It provides information on a number of topics that are always relevant to being in the gay community (ie: health). It also brings attention to some of the things that make happiness difficult for members of the LGBTQ Community (ie: society at large, our community’s repressed history, and the sociology of our community). At the very least, I felt this book gave me a chance to think about my place in the LGBTQ community and I appreciated the chance to re-engage with what makes me gay and happy.
