This is a great article about "coming out" as gay to your parents and community. i think that it would be good for a person to read this before reading the story so they have a little background about how hard it is admitting you are gay. its so easy for sedaris to talk about being gay and it just helps to know what he went through in a way. it also talks about how new york is one of the easiest places to come out that your gay. it gives a little insight on why he moved to new york.

This is a link to a video of david sedaris on the david letterman show. I think that this would be good to watch before reading the book because i think that it is important to see the author and hear his voice. I feel that after reading the book and then watching this video i would have liked to watch the video first because i can interpret things a little differently now.
