The 2000s Made Me Gay: Essays on Pop Culture by Grace Perry

funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.5

This was a great read. The author is a few years older than me so we consumed a lot of the same media growing up.

It was nice to look back on some of the media and reflect on it now that I've been out for a bit. Like the author, I was in the closet into adulthood- deeply closeted at that. This even inspired me to write a poem in defense of the song I Kissed A Girl because the essay on it got me thinking about the song in a new light.

If you're a queer millennial who came of age from like 2006 to 2011 then I think you'll enjoy this book.
