This “beautiful, brave book,” (Jenna Bush Hager, the Today show) is the story of Rebel Wilson’s remarkable personal transformation, from a painfully shy child in Australia who literally had to be dragged to drama classes and achieved break-out success in the US through iconic roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Isn’t It Romantic.

In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.

In 1957, Frank Kameny, a rising astronomer working for the US Military in Hawaii, received a summons to report immediately to Washington, DC. The Pentagon had reason to believe he was a homosexual, and after a series of humiliating interviews, Kameny - like gay men and women for generations - was promptly dismissed from the military. Unlike many others, though, Kameny fought back.

Great book with thirsty author
Revisado: 06-21-20
I just finished this book via Audible and overall I thought it was very well done. I appreciated learning more about Frank Kameny and the history of the LGBTQ rights movement prior to Stonewall. I learned about the book when I came across the author's website, which promoted me to also listen to his podcast. Overall he comes across as an attention seeking Weho gay who is a bit out of touch and desperate for anyone and everyone to read his book. I think the book stands on its own as a great text. I am curious how so many specific details were acquired or if they were developed for theatrical purposes, which wouldn't be surprising.

In a wise, warmhearted memoir that celebrates her extraordinary life and stellar career, Swoosie Kurtz shares just the right combination of personal misadventure and showbiz lore, candidly reflecting on the right choices that empowered her, the wrong choices that enlightened her, and the intimate journey of caring for an aging parent.

A hilarious and emotional personal account of the life, times, mistakes, and crippling codependence of comedian, producer, director, actress, and writer Whitney Cummings. Full of intellect, pathos, and profundity, I'm Fine...and Other Lies is, in Whitney's words, her first book, which means her last date. With her signature incendiary edge and self-deprecation, Whitney comes clean about what has shaped her into the trailblazing comic that she is today.

I have never read a book and liked the author less after reading it
Revisado: 02-27-18
I am a big fan of Whitney Cummings but not so much of this book. There were some clear stretches to express emotion that just never landed. Also, she talks about her own therapy as if it it was the universal approach to therapy. It’s clear she has undergone psychoanalysis. I wish the book was a bit deeper and even a bit funnier.

In November 2014, 13 members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past 40 years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before.

Joe Biden’s humanity, compassion and emotional vulnerability are what makes him a great person. His ability to be so open about the loss of his son truly highlight his core values. This book is a must read (or audible).

Black LGBT Health in the United States: The Intersection of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation focuses on the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of health and considers both risk and resiliency factors for the Black LGBT population. Contributors to this collection intimately understand the associations between health and intersectional anti-Black racism, heterosexism, homonegativity, biphobia, transphobia, and social class.

A must read for anyone interested in LGBTQ health!
Revisado: 11-15-17
This work is certain to be a seminal text for the future study of black LGBTQ health. The editor's approach to include the intersections of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religison was extremely well done. This text should be a must read for anyone working, studying or researching in the field of LGBTQ health. Bravo/a to the editors and the authors for their work on this text. The concepts of socio-cultural and socio-political health described in this book are groundbreaking and I am sure that the authors will continue on to conduct important research in the field of black LGBTQ health.
