Reddit reviews On Being Gay: Thoughts on Family, Faith, and Love (Stonewall Inn Editions)

ha, back in high school we had the sensors on the books like public libraries, and my friends thought it would be hilarious to fuck with me. they slipped this book into my backpack when i wasn't looking, and watched from outside as the hilarity ensued when the librarian made me empty my backpack after i set off the alarms. the sight and sound of them laughing outside the library was enough to convince her that it was a joke, thankfully.

Good read.

I read this book many years ago and in one of the essays he starts off stating, in effect, that the most prejudiced people against any minority are members of that minority. It was a bombshell in my brain at the time but I've experienced that to be true. Among gays, racial minorities, religious groups, etc., the most venomous and vociferous prejudice will come from those inside the group, not outside.
