You're Probably Gayish: The Truth (And Lies) Behind 17 Gay Stereotypes by Mike Johnson, Kyle Getz
informative
slow-paced
3.0
I went into this with much interest. As a queer person myself it is often obvious how much stereotypes there are about us, so I was very curious about this.
I couldn't connect to this book because it felt so American focused. It is told with an American view and I'm not sure if a lot that is said in this book is even relatable to anyone outside the US.
Sometimes things felt a little too long and off topic, making it hard to get through this book. Eventually I started to skim through it because I just wanted to finish reading it.
On a more positiver note, it was very interesting to read about queer history and studies that were done into the stereotypes.
I didn't know the authors because I haven't listened to their podcast. It wasn't obvious to me who was writing unless someone was mentioned in a question.
I feel like 3 stars is the best raring for me. It wasn't bad but I lost interest pretty quickly.
Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
