"Here are all the special things we loved, strategies we adopted, and situations we avoided in making our way toward being officially and at long last Out. Relive with the Funny Gay Males the joy of discovering Dr. Seuss and his gallery of self-conscious misfits.

Recall the trouble you got into by gravitating to all the "wrong" toys. Be nostalgic about Prom Night, when you wanted to tell your camera-wielding parents that they were right not to pass up their last opportunity to document their son's date with a girl, and about when you developed your first awkward, embarrassing, delirious crush on the boy next door."--BOOK JACKET.
