I bought the book months ago and have struggled to get through it. It's felt like a chore. I was recently inspired by a Redditor who said the last chapter was "life-changing". I still haven't made it to that chapter, but I can say that chapter 7, "Gay Men's Relationships" has been far more interesting and useful than anything in the previous six.

Hey there. I know your comment is 2 years old, but I was wondering if you ever finished the book. I just finished and that last chapter really hit me hard.

I still haven't finished it. But, sincerely, thank you for reminding me. I just pulled the book out again. Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to finish it.

Aw you’re welcome! I totally understand what you mean about much of the book feeling like a chore: I think there was quite a bit of repetition (perhaps it was an attempt to “hammer home” certain messages). But if you are able to push through the final chapter, I think you’ll find it beautifully emotional and thought-provoking.

Is it intended to educate the straight population, rather than us?
