Synopsis

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,

In this book, Kyle and Mike aim to break down the most prolific gay stereotypes in popular discourse - drawing on personal experience, up-to-date research, social history and maybe even Wikipedia to demonstrate first-hand how we're all a mixture of gay and straight stereotypes. So - whether you're gay or not - you're probably gayish...

Goodreads review by Bethany on October 03, 2024

I really like the layout of this book, as it makes it easy to dip in and out of reading. It's well researched and well written. I'd recommend this to anyone because there's never enough LGBTQIA+ resources out there. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC......more

Goodreads review by Jules on November 13, 2024

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......more

Goodreads review by orion on November 16, 2024

Thank you to the authors, publisher and NetGalley for this digital ARC. You're Probably Gayish is a book that talks about gay stereotypes, and either proves them or disproves them with facts and figures. Whilst that may make it sound scientific and boring, Getz and Johnson keep it entertaining throug......more
