Yay! You're Gay! Now What?
Yay! You're Gay! Now What?
by Riyadh Khalaf
Overview
Before Riyadh Khalaf was a successful broadcaster, activist, and YouTube personality, he was a lonely and lost 13-year-old, confused about his sexuality and ashamed of his feelings. It took Khalaf a while to discover that these feelings were his greatest gift. They would lead him to a fulfilling life full of love, pleasure, and friendship, as well as a successful career.
In Yay! You're Gay! Now What?: A Gay Boy's Guide to Life, Khalaf draws from his own life experiences and those of inspirational queer men in his life to bring the lessons that he needed as a young queer person. Coming out was a long, difficult journey for Khalaf, but now, as a prominent voice in the gay community, he works continously towards making that process easier for others.
Favorite quote
Feeling different. That's where it normally begins for a queer person. You may ask yourself, 'Am I broken? Sick? Weird?' The answer is no. There is nothing wrong with you – there's just something slightly different about you.
