The groundbreaking work on being homosexual in America—available again only from Penguin Classics and with a new foreword by Dan Savage Originally published in 1971, Merle Miller’s On Being Different is a pioneering and thought-provoking book about being homosexual in the United States. Just two years after the Stonewall riots, Miller wrote a poignant essay for the New York Times Magazine entitled “What It Means To Be a Homosexual” in response to a homophobic article published in Harper’s Magazine. Described as “the most widely read and discussed essay of the decade,” it carried the seed that would blossom into On Being Different—one of the earliest memoirs to affirm the importance of coming out.

“I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

Carlos and Márcio are two long time friends. One day, an event leads Carlos to finding out that his best friend, Márcio, is gay. He sees himself paralysed against that revelation. What now? Amid that surprise, Carlos becomes the witness of a coward crime and decides to create a blog to narrate his suffocating agony. In that process, he comes across the violence motivated by the prejudice that creates victims that are from several segments considred minority by the society. By reading "My best friend is gay", we come across adventures, danger, fights, re-encounters and a good pinch of police romance that make the book a realist narrative, easy of being read, understood and experienced by the reader as if they are part of the story, no matter their sexual orientation, religion, culture or ideology.
