You're Probably Gayish: The Truth (and Lies) Behind 17 Gay Stereotypes (Paperback) - Kyle Getz

A field guide to the truth to gay stereotypes, based on the hit podcast Gayish. Whether you love iced coffee and the gym - or whether that makes you want to run a mile - this is a hilarious, affirmative take on gay identity, and why there's no such thing as a 'bad gay'.

What if I don't know how to "do stuff" all the other gays can do? What if I don't know the name of that gay Netflix movie? What if I'm not obsessed with Jennifer Coolidge like everyone else? Am I really bad at being gay?

While being gay has become more socially and legally acceptable, there's a specific kind of gay that's most accepted. He's hot, jacked, white, loves iced coffee, watches Drag Race, and has a service job but somehow travels to Palm Springs every summer,

So - whether you're gay or not - you're probably gayish...
