Book Review at Book Dads
Book Dads — a website for “fathers that read” — has published a review of Families Like Mine.
Here’s an excerpt:
Garner also discusses other issues that are not immediately obvious, such as the differing experiences of growing up gay (“Second Generation”) or straight (“Culturally Queer, Erotically Straight’) in a GLBT family, and what that means once you’ve become an adult. If you grew up going to Gay Pride parades with your fathers, what happens when you grow up to be a straight man but still want to go to Gay Pride? Along the way, Garner shows that understanding these issues also requires that we reexamine the meaning of ideas such as “culture” and “family.”

P.S. The dads behind Book Dads also write a blog: Green Dads.
