Love Dan Savage. Love this book.
- Dan's thoughtful stories of his life from his Catholic upbringing, coming out, parenting his son with his husband, and going up against many big conservative names serve as a backdrop for his strong case for logic and equality. The reading by Dan Savage himself makes this book even better as you can hear the emotion, and sometimes anger, as he talks about his struggles and frustrations. Dan has a way of writing that can have you laughing and near tears in the same paragraph. Great listen.
