Gay Giant
Gay Giant: A Memoir | Gabriel Ebensperger
1 post | 1 read
A child who feels like an outsider in a world that's set against him. A boy who sings on the playground instead of playing soccer, who likes Barbies, and whose secretly favorite car is the one called Tutti Frutti. Gabriel Ebensperger shares with us his struggles with his own inadequacy, his feelings of guilt, and above all, his fear that his "difference" will be discovered. The vibrant bright pink pages of Gay Giant paint a picture of what it was like to grow up being gay in the '90s, through the voice of an endearing character, who on the way to becoming an adult realizes that the rejection of the world is never over, and that true acceptance comes from within yourself.

I wanted to like this more than I did. There were some sweet moments but, overall, this was too full of pop culture references that I didn‘t always get, which took me out of the story. As a result I didn‘t think the story flowed all that well. I could see this being more fun for those who are more into 90s pop culture. Side note: I loved the scenes about the author‘s first experience using the Internet and discovering chat rooms!
