Born This Gay: My Life of Activism, Politics, Travel, and Coming Out

by Peter Rosenstein

Overview

"You don't need to be rich to live a rich and full life . . . I could never have imagined at sixteen I would have a conversation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or that in the course of my life, meet six presidents."

Peter Rosenstein's memoirs are chock full of stories - from teaching to politics, and everything in between. Inside these pages, Rosenstein shares his amazing experiences from around the world, both professional and personal journeys over the years.

Through sharing his experiences, he hopes to inspire others with the same passion for activism, politics, travel, and people, and show readers working to improve the lives of others, can in turn, make their own life so much better.
