What it was like growing up a gay boy in the ‘70s & 80s in southern Arkansas. Bullying, torture, and even the high school that I attended allowed name-calling back then. My name was disgraced on a door in the boy’s room—just like bathroom graffiti and the janitors allowed it to remain up for a week before they removed it. I share how a gay child can deal with the trauma, and how it feels. Luckily, I came from parents of unconditional love and how they raised me allowed for my success as an adult. All of us are born to love someone; this book will enlighten the parents of children who just want to LOVE this way. As Lady Gaga says, “we are all born superstars,” through this book maybe more gay children (or Little Monsters as she might refer to them) can continue their education without harassment and unleash their inner superstar.”
