This is his celebration of embraced identity-- and a powerful warning. Despite the achievements of the past fifty years -- increased visibility of LGBTQ people, the legal right to marry, and more -- bigotry and hatred not only still exist but are ignited by a president and a vice president who have fanned the flames of homophobia with divisive rhetoric. Being gay is a gift, Jackson writes -- but the community cannot afford to be complacent. -- adapted from jacket 600 10 Jackson, Richie, |d1965- |=^A1421725 650 0 Gay men |zUnited States. |=^A114800 650 0 Fathers and sons |zUnited States. |=^A206386 650 0 Gay people |xIdentity |=^A297296 650 0 Gay parents |zUnited States. |=^A217566 650 0 Parents of gay people |zUnited States. |=^A441763 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:Jackson, Richie, 1965- |tGay like me |bFirst edition. |dNew York, NY : Harper, [2020] |z9780062939807 |w(DLC) 2019034199 938 Brodart |bBROD |n124018130 949 B J1375J |wDEWEY |hJOYNER11 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5570077
