Gaybash Paperback: Signed and hand-packed by David with a FREE bookmark and sticker! Gaybash is a character-driven, contemporary LGBTQ+ psychological drama exploring courage, identity, and the cost of self-reinvention. Matt Tompkins, a reserved gay man, has always played by the rules and has created a comfortable but unfulfilling life for himself. When his bold best friend Greg reaps unexpected rewards for standing up for himself in a very public display, Matt's jealousy leads him to risk everything when he's confronted by two attackers. Determined to be more like Greg, a split-second reaction brings astonishing changes to Matt's life—for better and for worse. Set in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, Gaybash explores the boundaries of love and friendship and the unintended consequences of wanting to be somebody else. Note: Due to the subject matter, Gaybash contains scenes of graphic violence and sex. Intended for mature readers.
