Mama's Boy: A Story from Our Americas by Dustin Lance Black

4.0

I picked this up at the Drama Book Shop because I remember Dustin Lance Black's acceptance speech at the Oscars. I actually clipped a copy from our newspaper and saved it. There is a lot of love and a lot of heartbreak in this book, and it can be difficult to read at times, given how backwards things are right now – it's hard to relive the success of the Supreme Court decision on Prop 8 when the current court might steal away those rights at any moment.
