Synopsis
A collection of fun facts, multiple-choice quizzes and aphorisms, and a look at the benefits of being gay takes gay humor out of the closet and puts it in the hands of anyone who is interested. Original. 15,000 first printing.

From the Author
Convenient size. Handy too!
Buy one for the home. For the office. For the top of the loo (at home or at the office). Anywhere someone may ask "Hey, you, buddy...what's so hot about being gay, huh?". Conveniently gym-bag sized, too. Buy one for your parents. Your brother. Your sister. Your sistah. Your nanny (well...better not). Your florist. Your favorite Irish priest. Your cat. Buy one for that gal you're seeing, that you just haven't gotten around to telling yet. The list goes on and on. Just buy one, already!

Funny Stereotypes3
This is one of the first books I bought when I came out years ago. At that point I thought the book was very funny and a good deal of stereotypes portraid in that book corresponded to my own traits of my being.

However, having now survived the common "explosion" of the closet I just merely smile and nod at this book.

The book *is* funny, and some stereotypes might be true, however, being gay doesn't being gym bunny, collection coffee table books or hating sports. Or not only that, anyway. What I didn't like in this book is that it's hugely american-centrist, full of US American stereotypes not present in European gay culture if we can be as vague as that.

Buy it if you want to have a laugh, but don't be suprised if the content isn't your isde of the road.

fast and furious one liners, Funny all the way5
I guess there is a little bit of the stereo type in us all, despite our denials. I found this book of one liners which I keep in my bathroom to amuse guests and me (still)Funny enough to make me laugh out loud a couple of times ! I have bought copies for friends and they and their friends love it too.
