Customer Reviews

Stereotypes? Yes! But that is why it's so funny!

This book picks out every possible gay stereotype and really analyzes it. The result is complete and utter humor, but it really gets you thinking. Why are we the way we are? And you know what... who cares? I'm proud to be me! The explanations really make sense and even though its all in jest, you do wish some of it were true. The cartoons and the lists are to die for! The pictures of the gay facial expressions and the guide to "gay types!" AHH! It really is a handbook.

Wonderful,Witty, and Whacky.

From ten things not to say to your mother when coming out. To were the best place to live. The top cd's every gay man should own to magz. My favorite part is the quotes from movies and actors. If you want to have a good laugh and to learn something along the way then this is the book for you. Happy reading.

If you're GAY and don't have this already... *Spanky spanky!

I've bought probably over 10 copies of this book and have given it out as gifts to all my close friends (gay or straight, who cares) and have been thanked many times over. The layout has variety, the content is humorous (but very TRUE-to some extent), and provides an appealing way of being everything from fashionable to down right NAUGHTY. A must buy for gay people who really need "a clue."

No gay man should be without this book!

This book is simply fantastic. It is the handbook of every gay man (and woman). Geared towards the male point of view, this book covers everything from coming out to settling down with your partner.Most of all, it is hilarious. You will be proud to be gay when you read this great book.

It should be official!

This is one of the most amusing books I've ever read. Given to me by my exboyfriend, I look through this more than just about any other book I own. Some of the information is a bit out of date, so I'd love to see a revision to it, but it's got a lot of stuff that's timeless.. and hilarious. "How to break up with a psycho killer" couldn't have worked better! :)
