Gaybash 3DSynopsis
Matt Tompkins, a reserved gay man, has always played by the rules and has created a comfortable but unfulfilling life for himself. When his bold best friend Greg reaps unexpected rewards for standing up for himself in a very public display, Matt’s jealousy leads him to risk everything when he’s confronted by two attackers. Determined to be more like Greg, a split-second reaction brings astonishing changes to Matt’s life–for better and for worse.

Set in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, Gaybash explores the boundaries of love and friendship and the unintended consequences of wanting to be somebody else.

Review

When you read something that is painfully honest, it’s always a beautiful thing. Were I not part of this blog tour, I probably wouldn’t have happened upon this work, but I’m glad I did. The pain and awkwardness lends truth to the writing you don’t want to miss. I’d recommend it not only to those in the LGBT community, but to those allies who want to know more about how it feels to be in the situations that Matt finds himself in. Take a chance to get outside of your own head and into someone else’s to expand your own horizons.
