Richie Jackson and his first husband had twins boys by a surrogate mother. They were born 3 months premature and one boy died. Some years later the dad’s separated and Richie remarried Jordan. Together they continued to raise their first son and then another.
This book is from Richie to their son explaining life in America from one gay man to another. Their son is off to college and Dad wants to impart some knowledge to help along the way.
The writing is very honest and direct. Dad is very proud to know his son is gay but wants him also to know that America doesn’t see him as an equal…yet.
I appreciated the honesty of this book and Richie’s spirited perspective.
Gay Like Me is available from the Ottawa Public Library.
