This book is simply amazing. Angry, proud, fierce, tender, it is a powerful letter of love from a father to a son that holds lasting insight for us all. I started reading this book as so as I got the package. It will, I am certain, influence my own sense of self and the way that I interact with the younger gay men in my life.

This book demonstrates what being a mentor means. This book made me hold a mirror to myself and think about what it means to be a responsible gay man, the aspects of LGTBQ History I need to learn more about, and the importance of being vocal and staying informed on injustices against our community.

Gay Like Me A : I wish I had read this book when I was first figuring out my sexuality and my gender identity

I highly recommend this book to anyone. But bigotry is on the rise, ignited by a president who has declared war on the gay community and fanned the flames of homophobia. Being gay is a gift, Jackson writes, but with their gains in jeopardy the gay community must not be complacent.

The deep truth of his writing makes this a beautiful book. A newly constituted Supreme Court with a conservative tilt is poised to overturn equality laws and set the clock back decades.
