Yes, I'm Sure I'm Gay (I Checked), Michael Rodriguez
Looking for the ultimate manual for navigating life as a gay man in a world that still can’t decide if you’re a punchline, a political statement, or just a regular guy who likes men?
Meet Michael Rodriguez: moderately successful copywriter, proud owner of three identical black t-shirts, cat dad to Oscar Wilde (who judges harder than his Catholic relatives), and boyfriend to a man who still insists wet towels belong on bedroom floors. After spending 47% of his adult life explaining his sexuality to people who could have just Googled it, Michael finally did something useful with the frustration—he wrote this book.
Yes, I’m Sure I’m Gay (I Checked) is an irreverent, caffeinated field guide to gay life that doesn’t rely on tragic backstories or glitter-drenched clichés. From awkward dinner-table coming-outs (less cinematic rain, more silence) to navigating healthcare systems that still think “emergency contact” = “roommate,” Michael covers it all.
Chapters include:
The Office Water Cooler: Where Heteronormativity Goes to Thrive
Dating Apps: Where Hope Goes to Get Ghosted
Gay Aging: Because Apparently 30 = Gay Death
You’ll laugh, cringe in recognition, and finish with both practical insights and the confidence to finally tell that one coworker, “No, I don’t have fashion advice just because I’m gay.”
Perfect for:
LGBTQ+ readers craving humor without violins
Allies who want to understand without making their friends explain
Anyone who’s ever been asked, “Are you sure?”
People who know humor = survival
Featuring highly suspect statistics, a glossary for well-meaning relatives, and a cat plotting world domination.
Warning: Contains zero tragic backstories, exactly one (1) heartfelt paragraph per chapter, and jokes sharp enough to cut through awkward silences.
