The honesty is great... there are so many stories about sex and attraction during puberty (which really demystifies childhood innocence). But then there is a big bag of sexual frustration or repression. And in many stories, out of that hard soil gay love emerges. The chronological order by year of "coming out" also tracks some development in perceptions of homosexuality from the 1950 through the 1990s. Well written and very illuminating anecdotes about "coming out".
The most intriguing stories were "He's One, Too" by Allan Gurganus and "Money Talks" by David Drake. Guganus' story is about himself as a boy who is attracted to one of his father's friends, named Dan, and how this attraction becomes his first realization of his homosexuality. It is written with nostalgiac longing demonstrating how this fascination develops into Dan becoming an ideal figure of beauty for him.
Drake's story highlight the aspect of the difficulty of coming out all the time in which he humorously describes coming out to his hired investment banker.
