What if I don't know how to "do stuff" all the other gays can do? What if I don't know the name of that gay Netflix movie? What if I'm not obsessed with Jennifer Coolidge like everyone else? Am I really bad at being gay?
While being gay has become more socially and legally acceptable, there's a specific kind of gay that's most accepted. He's hot, jacked, white, loves iced coffee, watches Drag Race, and has a service job but somehow travels to Palm Springs every summer,
In this book, Kyle and Mike aim to break down the most prolific gay stereotypes in popular discourse - drawing on personal experience, up-to-date research, social history and maybe even Wikipedia to demonstrate first-hand how we're all a mixture of gay and straight stereotypes. So - whether you're gay or not - you're probably gayish...

Press Reviews
– Stan Zimmerman, writer/director
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
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.
