Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 I had escaped my small town and cornfield notoriety, and was now free to live an authentic gay life in a gorgeous big city. I had become a hairdresser, and was meeting with a magazine about my web series. I was shocked when a woman called me a faggot.#2 I had been going about my life, just business as usual, when the show came out. People stopped me everywhere I went, and I was shocked by how often they were vulnerable about the show changing their lives.#3 I have learned that life is not neatly packaged up into easily understood boxes. Joy can live beside sorrow. Life is messy, unpredictable, and seldom tied into neat little boxes.#4 I want to be vulnerable with people who deserve it, and I believe that everyone reading this has earned my honesty. I want to help myself heal and remove the shame that I’ve experienced, in the hopes that this will help others heal as well.
