How To Be Gay In The 21st Century

BOOK: How To Be Gay In The 21^st Century

AUTHOR: David Leddick

GRADE: B+

“There’s nothing wrong with being gay. It’s like being Swedish. A little different but in no important way.”

I spent the vast majority of the 45 minutes it took for me to consume Leddick’s instruction manual laughing. His advice is often spot on, sometimes a little wacky – but always amusing! He clearly has given some serious thought to the proper and improper ways of conducting yourself as a gay man in today’s world. And lucky are those who get to hear his words of wisdom.. at least he thinks so.

Hard hitting literature – this is not. A humorous (and frequently insightful) romp through the minutia of gay-dom is what you get with this book. His advice ranges from whether to tell your parents (he’s not always in favor) to how to handle aging with grace and style. And, of course, he covers sex and blowjobs (to him, these are not one in the same). But where he really takes the cake is with his multiple discussions of fashion and style. He clearly knows his stuff and just wishes the rest of the gay population did to. That is why he is here. Read and learn!

How To Be Gay is a quick read with equal parts pictures and text and is highly enjoyable regardless of your sexual orientation or gender. Pick it up and prepare to be amused – and maybe even educated!
