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
