All his life, Chad Anderson was told he was broken. He believed with all his heart that being a good Mormon would make him straight, because that is what was promised. Chad followed the prescribed road map: mission, marriage, and children. But it didn't make him happy, and it didn't make him straight. For Chad, coming out meant losing everything and starting again. Gay Mormon Dad is the story of one man learning to love himself in a complicated world. This inspiring autobiography unfolds in two parts, "Then" and "Now," woven together in a way that will hit you right in the heart. Vibrantly illustrated by artist Remy Burke, this moving graphic novel sheds light on the dangers of spiritual abuse and illuminates the path to healing.
Industry Reviews
"Gay Mormon Dad is deeply personal and instantly engrossing-a story of family, and not just one's connection to it, but the need to define it on your own terms. But this isn't about closing the door on the past to be who you are, it's about refitting what we think we understand into the life we know we need without question. It's about the rich, often conflicting complexities of love. As the pages say, 'the world is complicated, but life is good.' This book is a journey-not a direct path, a winding one towards embracing who we are. And even if the details change, that journey's universal-so get on the path." -Steve Orlando, author of Wonder Woman, Astonishing Iceman, Feeding Dangerously, and more "Raw, unfiltered, powerful, and gripping, Chad Anderson's graphic memoir-masterfully illustrated by Remy Burke-stands up there with some of the best in the category. By the last page, you'll feel connected to Chad's trauma and perseverance. And most importantly, you'll have made a new friend through the power of story. I couldn't put this down." -Alex Segura, New York Times-bestselling author of Secret Identity, Alter Ego, Star Wars, and more "A deeply honest, heartfelt, and extremely creative look at one man's journey to find his authentic self." -J.M. DeMatteis, author of Spider-Man, Moonshadow, The DeMultiverse, and more "In a time when the systems and structures we've been taught will save us are doing nothing but failing us, Gay Mormon Dad reminds us that we have to fight for and build the safety and love we deserve but that it's possible." -Phillip Sevy, author of Venom, X-Men, and Deadpool
