| 1. |  | Running with Scissors: A Memoir
from St. Martin's Paperbacks
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
First off let me state that the first half of this book was well written. When you get to the middle of the book it goes straight downhill. I really didn't need to experience the vivid details of his first gay experience. I don't care in what fashion it has to do with this bizarre story, and if the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Big Penis Book
from TASCHEN America Llc
Price: $43.79
Customer Review:
You don't have to worry about what the adjective modifies in the title of the book _The Big Penis Book_ (Taschen). The book is big. It is twelve inches square, and weighs over seven pounds, with almost four hundred heavy, glossy pages. It is just the sort of book that can go on your coffee table, if... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic
from Stonewall Inn Editions
Price: $15.25
Customer Review:
I had to read this book in graduate school and begrudgingly started it only to be immediately drawn in, often staying up to 3am reading. Part was because it read like a fast paced, eventful fiction narrative however the sad part was that it documents the reality of the beginning of HIV in the United... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School
from University of California Press
Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
And even that is being too kind for this vile blob of feminist tripe. I've read many books but almost none have reached the level of thinly masked hatred on paper that "Dude, You're a Fag" has. While the title, alone, is offensive, the contents are far more offensive than what one might expect. I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

When my son was very young, I sensed that he was most likely gay and did my own research to find understanding and acceptance.

from HarperOne

Customer Review:
This is an extremely well written, heart wrenching story. It is also must read for parents grappling with their child's sexual orientation. Rick Warren and other religious leaders should read it before making any more pronouncements about the LGBT community. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Plume
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Funny, talated, hopeful and uplifting as the author Dan Savage was the focus of my radio call-in show "Talk Is Cheap," where we discussed his own story of being married in Canada. Savage has managed to put humor on this very real subject with genuine universal appeal. As to why same-sex couples... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is the first book which dedicates its entire thesis to the concept around the trauma of growing up gay and it is very well done.
