Jesse Helms ... I remember him vividly. What a scary man. :-/<br /><br />I also enjoy memoirs by people who don't fit in, whether it be growing up gay in a conservative area or for other reasons. This sounds right up my alley.<br /><br />I loved this post, BTW.

Somehow, these books remind me of how difficult it was for gay people to come out and be secure with their sexuality several years ago. These books remind us that I, as a gay man today, am blessed with so many things, although we still have a long way to go.<br /><br />I'd also like to recommend to you the autobiography of Frank Bruni, the former food critic of the New York Times. The title is Born Round. It touches on a lot of things -- his love for food, his dealings with his weight, his coming out. It's terribly funny in most parts and very touching too.Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.com
