| | Amazon.ca: Books: The David Kopay Story: An Extraordinary Self-Revelation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | This is David Kopay's account of growing up gay back when there were very few books or support groups to turn to, which makes it stand even taller. |
 | | Inevitably somewhat dated, this book (first published in 1977, but revised a bit since) is nonetheless still on the short list of must-reads for both gay people and for heterosexuals who want to know more about gay people and what we go through. |
 | | Kopay was so ahead of his time that I don't think any professional football player has come out since him (Jerry Smith, who died of AIDS, is described in the book, and was a buddy of Kopay's, never really came out). |
