HOW TO LIVE AMONG STRAIGHTS: Without Losing Your Mind
How to Live Among Straights is biting, sorrowful, and unrelentingly bold. It isn't a request for tolerance—it's a declaration of exhaustion, wit, and hard-earned defiance. As cultural critique, it is scalpel-sharp. As literature, it pulses with rhythm and clarity. This book doesn't pander, doesn't soften, and doesn't try to make itself palatable for mainstream approval.
It challenges not only straight culture but also those within the gay and lesbian community who have traded survival for silence, or liberation for lifestyle.
Recommended for:
• Homosexual readers who are tired of being "tolerated"
• Readers interested in power, performance, and cultural critique
• Anyone prepared to laugh, wince, and maybe rethink their lawn sign
Not recommended for:
• Readers seeking a polite roadmap to allyship
• Those easily offended by satire aimed at systems, not individuals
• Anyone who believes "equality" was the final chapter
This is not a bridge. It's a mirror. And it's not asking for applause. It's asking: What did we give up just to be allowed to stay?
