      About the Book

      In a time when much of the country sees red whenever the subject of gay marriage comes up, Dan Savageaoutspoken author of the column aSavage Loveaa makes it personal.
      Dan Savageas mother wants him to get married. His boyfriend, Terry, says ano thanksa because he doesnat want to act like a straight person. Their six-year-old son DJ says his two dads arenat aalloweda to get married, but that head like to come to the reception and eat cake. Throw into the mix Danas straight siblings, whose varied choices form a microcosm of how Americans are approaching marriage these days, and you get a rollicking family memoir that will have everyoneagay or straight, right or left, single or marriedahowling with laughter and rethinking their notions of marriage and all it entails. BACKCOVER: aHilarious, heartfelt.a
      a"Seattle Post-Intelligencer"
      aAs funny as David Sedarisas essay collections, but bawdier and more thought-provoking.a
      a"Publisheras Weekly" (starred review)
      aMost of all, a book about creating and appreciating family.a
      a"Seattle Times"
      aI think America would be a better place if everyone on every side of the gay marriage debate would read this book.a
      aIra Glass, host of the public radio show "This American Life"
      aThe strongest argument here, which Savage] brilliantly plays down, is that family means everything to these people: married, not married, blended, gay, straight, whatever.a
      a"The Washington Post"
