High-risk homosexual : a memoir / Edgar Gomez. by Gomez, Edgar (Writer), author. New York : Soft Skull, 2022. Subjects Gomez, Edgar (Writer)   Hispanic American gay people -- United States -- Biography.   Gay men -- United States -- Biography.   Coming out (Sexual orientation) -- United States. ISBN:  9781593767051 (paperback) : 1593767056 (paperback) Description:  xi, 287 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "A debut memoir about coming of age as a gay, Latinx man in a culture of machismo, Gomez's High-Risk Homosexual opens in the ultimate anti-gay space: his uncle's cockfighting ring in Nicaragua, where he was sent at twelve years old to become a man. The story then moves through the queer spaces where he learned the joy of being gay and Latinx, including Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, a drag queen convention in Los Angeles, and the doctor's office where he was diagnosed a "high-risk homosexual." With vulnerability, humor, and quick-witted insights into racial, sexual, familial, and professional power dynamics, Gomez shares a hard-won path to taking pride in the parts of himself that he'd kept hidden. It's a hilarious, beautiful reminder of the importance-in a world that is so often oppressive-of leaving space for joy"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.7662 Gomez Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7662 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
