Not being hugely into country music, I'd never heard of her before she recently appeared all over the news, but you made the book sound very interesting all on its own. Maybe I'll give it a look now.injaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-51900066442350299452010-05-15T18:47:14.957-06:002010-05-15T18:47:14.957-06:00This is a great review.

I liked your point about the dichotomy of trying to find out who you really are while having to hide it the whole time. Ridiculous and annoying that people still have to do that in this increasingly bigoted society we live in. I can't imagine having to meet with Dick Cheney or Fox News in her shoes. *shudder*FabuLesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15814584638626099611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-80292029898971768142010-05-15T08:43:19.740-06:002010-05-15T08:43:19.740-06:00I'll second Rusty Hoe here (love that name by ...I'll second Rusty Hoe here (love that name by the way) ... I have fantastic male gay friend in England, I'd met his boyfriends..he now is in a commited long term realtionship. We would party and get drunk together and frequently would end up 'snogging' and a touch more... I asked him about this and his response was although he knew he was gay he found me to hard to resist. I'm pretty sure we would never of had sex because it was a bit weird for me (although he is as handsome as any man I've ever met) but it illustrates a point that sometimes a person of the sex you are not normally drawn to comes into your life and you become a little smitten with them, wether its sexual or not.<br />Anyway, not knowing who Brad Paisley was I googled him and I quite fancy him with his hat on..so I can understand why!

For some it was a matter of trying to 'make' themselves straight to fit in with both their own and others ideas of normal. For others it was an attraction to an individual person. They don't call it a continuum for nothing. The journey is a very individual one, you just hope that they all find their truth and happiness like Chely.
