Speaking Out — Ken Hanes

In this compendium of advice, gay men--from Tony Kushner to your high school gym teacher, from Andy Warhol to your plumber, from Paul Monette to your uncle who never got married--open their hearts and flex their wisdom and wit to explain everything you need to know about gay life. Overflowing with down-to-earth insights and sparkling irreverence, Speaking Out offers guidance and commentary on everything from living in a hetero world to escaping the hetero world; from queering up your life to de-queering your life; from getting hitched to getting down; from accepting your family to creating a new one; from being a role model to being a bitch; from changing the world to taking over the world. Gay men, as well as everyone who's ever loved, hated, or thought they've seen a gay man, can learn bundles from Speaking Out.
