maybe its because i am a early twentie something kind of guy, but i thought that most of the articles and quotes in here were a bit old a lot of the things were over my head, refering to childhood in the 60 and 70's or earlier i think that that is great and needs to be out there but there should be a sequal of more recent events if you are in the age group that grew up during that tiem you will love it. the images were great
A little material stretched to fill a book
"When I Knew" is as much about graphic design as it is about the literary content, so the oversized dimensions make sense. The anecdotes shared herein are brief and easy to read, printed in large type against colorful backgrounds and often accompanied by childhood photos of those interviewed, many who are minor celebrities.
These brief glimpses into the early lives of gay men and women are mostly humorous ones, interspersed with the occasional poignant or sad sketch.
Unfortunately the entire book can be consumed in one short sitting. It's breezy and entertaining, but I wish there had been a little more depth -- and a lot more material. Even for a "fun" read, the overall effect is thin. Still, pick it up and it's hard to put down.
I knew...
First grade. I'll keep his name private; let's call him "Keith". All the girls were playing inside, all the boys went outside. It was cold, it was wet, it was miserable. I so totally wanted to be outside, because Keith was outside. I had absolutely no clue what the other boys were doing, building a fort, playing soldier, lobbing pine cone grenades at each other, didn't make any sense at all to me, but it didn't matter, because Keith was there. Even then, at that extemely young age, I knew that I "wanted" him, knew that he wouldn't understand, knew that the other boys wouldn't understand, knew that I had to keep it to myself. I let myself get "killed" with a pine cone grenade, just so I could lie there, lifeless, watching Keith lead his forces to victory. Keith won the battle... and my heart. I knew. I was gay.
