GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS:
True Tales of Love, Lust, and Friendship Between Straight Women and Gay Men
A celebration of one of the most important relationships in a straight girl’s life—her gay best friend.
Thanks to iconic duos such as Sex and the City’s Carrie and Stanford and the title characters of Will & Grace, the love affair between straight women and gay men has moved into the mainstream. Never before, though, has a book looked at these friendships in the real world.
Editors Melissa de la Cruz and Tom Dolby, themselves best friends, have put together this collection of hilarious and poignant never-before-published essays that explore this unique relationship. In addition to stories about single girls and gay guys bonding over shopping sprees and brunch, these stories chronicle love and lust, infatuation and heartbreak, growing up and coming out, and family and children.
With a foreword by bestselling author Armistead Maupin, the anthology includes contributions from Mike Albo, Zakiyyah Alexander, Stacey Ballis, Cecil Castellucci, Cindy Chupack, Anna David, Simon Doonan, David Ebershoff, Abigail Garner, Philip Himberg, Gigi Levangie Grazer, Alexandra Jacobs, James Lecesne, David Levithan, Sarah Kate Levy, Bennett Madison, Wendy Mass, Michael Musto, Karen Robinovitz, Brian Sloan, Andrew Solomon, K.M. Soehnlein, Elizabeth Spiers, Zach Udko, Ayelet Waldman, Edwin John Wintle, and the editors, Melissa de la Cruz and Tom Dolby.
Straight women and gay men alike will relate to these tales from this diverse array of contributors, ranging from literary novelists to Emmy Award winners, single girls about town to mothers of four, downtown performance artists to Hollywood scenesters. This definitive anthology, the first of its kind, proves that more durable than diamonds, straight women and gay men are each other’s true best friends.
