520 "A debut memoir about coming of age as a gay, Latinx man
in a culture of machismo, Gomez's High-Risk Homosexual
opens in the ultimate anti-gay space: his uncle's
cockfighting ring in Nicaragua, where he was sent at
twelve years old to become a man. The story then moves
through the queer spaces where he learned the joy of being
gay and Latinx, including Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, a
drag queen convention in Los Angeles, and the doctor's
office where he was diagnosed a "high-risk homosexual."
With vulnerability, humor, and quick-witted insights into
racial, sexual, familial, and professional power dynamics,
Gomez shares a hard-won path to taking pride in the parts
of himself that he'd kept hidden. It's a hilarious,
beautiful reminder of the importance-in a world that is so
often oppressive-of leaving space for joy"--|cProvided by
