Raymond and Me Format:Paperback Sexist assumptions are stubbornly persistent:

Sexist assumptions are stubbornly persistent: even in recent years

but if it means Marisol can keep her sister safe

and each boy will pursue her

of heart-stopping kisses and sudden revelations

I'm Afraid of Men is a journey from camouflage to a riot of colour and a blueprint for how we might cherish all that makes us different and conquer all that makes us afraid

Raymond and Me Format:Paperback Sexist assumptions are stubbornly persistent:This courageous and lyrical memoir chronicles the challenges of growing up gay in the seventies and eighties in Toronto, and how the enchanting discovery of first love can change the shape of a person's life. Homophobia had robbed Dan of any hope of finding a man to fall in love with until he met Raymond. It was love at first sight. Though their relationship was not without its challenges from the outside world, time and time again, love prevailed.
