"I am fully out but I’ve been fascinated with this book ever since I saw it at the strand bookstore. If you are just coming out. Or if you’ve been out for years. This book will be a fun experience!!! I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of fun chapters!! Including the gay icons and other types of gay sex that don’t include penetration. Not to mention she writes it in her accent so she calls anal sex “Bumming” and it is so adorable!!!! Or she says fig when she want to write ****. It is so quirky and brilliant!!!"

"Yes the name is a bit on the noes but I think it's a great book to read if your just figuring out your identity or you child just came out. It's filled with so much amazing information and it's a great introduction to the LGBTQIA+ community "

"Some useful information but misleading as the “ultimate” gay guide. RTC"

"It was written with good humor, and I appreciated the blunt way topics were explained and talked about. Definitely a resource I'd reccommend for young/"new" LGBQ+ when they want to begin learning and exploring the community of our modern time."
