Either Way: The Story of a Gay Kid

By Sandra Levins

Book Overview

A graphic novel that teaches teens about the history of gay rights in America while emphasizing the recurring theme that "It's okay to be gay. Or not. Either way, it's okay."

From day one I knew there was something different about me. Cael sets out to find out who he is -- something he wants to know more than anything. With the help of a trusted teacher, a new friend, and his favorite book, he discovers what he knew all along.

Inside you'll find three stories braided into one: a coming-of-age coming out story, a lesson on civil rights and marriage equality, and historical fiction about a gay man in the military. And you'll read about how Cael comes out as gay, comfortable with who he is and confident that it's okay.

Great read

This book is a great read especially for a teen wanting to come out but is afraid. It reads like a comic but its a graphic novel. I would have loved to have this book when I was a child. It was hard for me coming out. I am glad to have Sandra as an Ally and friend. Thank you Sandra for the great book. Everyone needs a copy for themselves or their Child.
