Book Description:
|
To be fat in a thin-obsessed gay culture can be difficult. Despite affectionate in-group monikers for big gay men-chubs, bears, cubs - the anti-fat stigma that persists in American culture at large still haunts these individuals who often exist at the margins of gay communities. This book delves into the world of Girth & Mirth.
