Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had escaped my small town and cornfield notoriety, and was now free to live an authentic gay life in a gorgeous big city. I had become a hairdresser, and was meeting with a magazine about my web series. I was shocked when a woman called me a faggot.
#2 I had been going about my life, just business as usual, when the show came out. People stopped me everywhere I went, and I was shocked by how often they were vulnerable about the show changing their lives.
#3 I have learned that life is not neatly packaged up into easily understood boxes. Joy can live beside sorrow. Life is messy, unpredictable, and seldom tied into neat little boxes.

#1

I had escaped my small town and cornfield notoriety, and was now free to live an authentic gay life in a gorgeous big city. I had become a hairdresser, and was meeting with a magazine about my web series. I was shocked when a woman called me a faggot.

#2

I had been going about my life, just business as usual, when the show came out. People stopped me everywhere I went, and I was shocked by how often they were vulnerable about the show changing their lives.

#3

I have learned that life is not neatly packaged up into easily understood boxes. Joy can live beside sorrow. Life is messy, unpredictable, and seldom tied into neat little boxes.

#4

I want to be vulnerable with people who deserve it, and I believe that everyone reading this has earned my honesty. I want to help myself heal and remove the shame that I’ve experienced, in the hopes that this will help others heal as well.

#5

The truth is, we all have our own fears and darkness, and we can’t judge people based on what we see on social media. We must read between the lines and see past all of it to get to the real person.

#6

I learned to accept and love my many parts, and I’m ready to share my own story and let you in on how I did it.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I had a passion for figure skating and gymnastics as a child. I would watch the Olympics and make two cinnamon and brown sugar Pop-Tarts in the toaster, eat two more of them cold while the other two were toasting, then wash that down with a few powdered donuts.

#2

I loved the 1992 Olympics, because they were the first time the US women’s gymnastics team had ever won a medal. I was so proud of my girls, and I wanted to be like them when I grew up.

#3

I tried to do gymnastics, or what we would now call power tumbling, at the gym, but I wasn’t very good at it. I was also extremely involved with my mother’s work, and didn’t have time for anything else.
