Kiss - A Teen Novel About A Girl Loving A Boy Who is Gay


By Jacqueline Wilson

What happens when the boy you want to kiss wants to kiss the boy next door?

Sylvie always believed she'd end up marrying Carl someday. After all, they've been best friends since they were little. Now they're in High School, and Sylvie dreams of Carl kissing her...

But it doesn't even happen during a game of spin-the-bottle! And it should have!

Sylvie slowly comes to realize that Carl is Gay.

And when Carl has Gay heartbreaks of his own, Sylvie has to figure out if can she be there for him. After all, he broke her heart, didn't he?


My thanks to Yapha for the heads-up on this book. Add your review of "Kiss" in comments!

The Best Response to Hate is... Gunn High School Sings Away A Hate Group

Check out what happened when Fred Phelp's Westboro Baptist Church, Family and Hate Group visited the Gunn High School - and see the non-violent demonstration the student body and the Gunn High School Gay Straight Alliance created:



These students found that the best response to hate is Love. And singing. And standing together.

Right on, Gunn High School. Right on!

My thanks to Tim who found this video and sent me here, to the Not In Our Town website.
