High-Risk Homosexual

Plot

A debut memoir about coming of age as a gay, Latinx man, High-Risk Homosexual opens in the ultimate anti-gay space: Edgar Gomez’ uncle’s cockfighting ring in Nicaragua, where he was sent as a thirteen year old to become a man. Readers follow Gomez through the queer spaces where he learned to love being gay and Latinx,including Pulse nightclub in Orlando, a drag queen convention in Los Angeles, and a doctor’s office where he was diagnosed a “high-risk homosexual.”
