From the co-hosts of the award-winning podcast Gayish comes the book You’re Probably Gayish: The Truth (and Lies) Behind 17 Gay Stereotypes. Each of the 17 chapters analyzes one stereotype and dissects it using history, research, and personal anecdotes to determine whether that stereotype is true or not. We cover stereotypes like drugs, limp wrists, and ice coffee with humor and heart.
The book starts with a Cosmo-style quiz of 17 questions designed to understand how gay you are. Then, follow along as each chapter digs into each question to evaluate the truth behind the inherent assumptions and, ultimately, score your quiz. You’ll come away better understanding how gay you are and, more importantly, why.
Reviews
Stan Zimmerman (writer on Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls, and more): “What a cool book! I love that it dealt with gay stereotypes through history and humor -the best combination. Should be required reading for anyone in our community and all allies to understand us better. As a writer from Season 1 of “The Golden Girls”, of course, I enjoyed Chapter 9 the best!”
Matt Baume (author and host of the podcast The Sewer of Paris): “A thrilling affirmation of shared experiences, from overachieving in school to working in the arts to loving every episode of The Golden Girls. The conversational writing makes for easy entry into particularly thorough research — it may feel at first like a breezy podcast-style chat, but this book offers surprisingly vast depths to explore. Just like gays.”
