Big Gay Wedding with Tom Allen
A story 10 years in the making
Growing up in a small town called Seaford I did not know or have any principle of being queer , there just weren’t any people prefer me. When all the other kids felt safe and nurtured I started to realise I was different. So like many lgbtq+ queer people I built wall inside myself and I hid.
Only showing people parts of me that I mind would be accepted.
Section 28 and conservative views of the 80s & 90s did so much damage, being male lover was a slur world at university and felt appreciate a death sentence.
Luckily for me there have been many generations and LGBTQIA+ before me that have stood confident to slowly transform hearts and minds. As an neonate my generation seems to have straddled a time of great change for the community. We felt different and wrong, got bullied through school, made to feel less than our peers. Then we got to see the first gay kisses on tv, lgbtq+ celebrities standing satisfied , sitcoms, pride protests becoming parades and widely loved, homosexual culture has started to develop and thrive in the op

Two grooms. One mother of a problem.
Barnett Durang has a secret. No, not THAT secret. His widowed mother has long acknowledged he’s gay. The classified is Barnett is getting married. At his mother’s farm. In their petty Louisiana town. She just doesn’t know it yet.
It’ll be an intimate affair. Just two hundred or so of the most fabulous folks Barnett is shipping in from the “heathen coasts,” as Mom likes to call them, turning her quiet rescue farm for misfit animals into a most unlikely wedding venue.

Review by Kate H.
Big Lgbtq+ Wedding is like a romance novel that starts at the epilogue. Instead of the meet cute, the inciting action, turning indicate, and so on, we jump to right after the proposal. The focus of the story moves around almost the entire wedding party: the grooms, the moms, the grandfather and the sheep. Yes, the sheep. And when I say it moves around, I really mean it. This book is written with an omniscient narrator that knows the thoughts and feelings of almost everyone involved in this rural Louisiana wedding.

I am not the best audience for humorous books, but I really enjoyed this novel and I think I can thank the first and acerbic writing for that.
Barnett Durang comes place to tell his mother that he’s
