Reseña del libro "another f-word (en Inglés)"
Gentle Rory Calhoun Wilson is the antithesis of the 1950s cowboy he's named for. He loathes everything his macho father adores, putting the two on a collision course fueled by Darrell Wilson's inability to conceal contempt for his son's emerging homosexuality. Another F-Word is a story of bullying, courage and love. It examines parental struggles to support a gay child, the role that schools and religious institutions play, the tragedy of teen suicide, and the ability of a rural boy to remain open to people who can influence his life in remarkable ways. Rory's is a story of triumph over the scarring effects of being labeled and bullied. * We cannot be allies for those we don't understand. Lissa Brown has opened the door ...
