We are looking for essays and short memoirs by gay men about growing up for an anthology to be published by Carroll & Graf \/ Avalon in the Fall of 2006. We’re not necessarily looking for coming out stories or “the first time I had gay sex” stories as much as essays about what it is like to be a child or an adolescent with that strange, indefinable gay sensibility. As a gay kid, how did you view the world? What shaped you, affected you, influenced you, moved you? How did other people perceive you, react to you?
