5/30/2023 0 Comments Openly Straight by Bill KonigsbergIt wasn’t that he was going back into the closet he just wouldn’t mention his sexuality, and people would assume by default that he was straight. So he transfers to Natick, an all boys boarding school, for his junior year and vows to begin afresh. While people don’t tease him for being gay, people still think of him as gay, and he just wants to see how it feels to be seen as just Rafe. Thing is, Rafe is tired of being the gay kid. His parents threw him a coming out party and his mother even became the president of PFLAG. His classmates stopped using words like “faggot” in jokes. His best friend Claire Olivia had figured it out long before. When Rafe came out in the 8th grade, no one made a big deal about it. Bill Konigsberg’s Openly Straightis a thought provoking, unique, take on the LGBTQ coming out story.
