RAINBOW BOYS!
Author – Alex Sanchez
Review BY- Leon Velasco
Rating – Two Thumbs up
This book is one of a three part series that captivated me. Because all three parts were not in a catalog of some book membership, I had to hunt these down to be able to finish the series. Word of caution, it may take awhile to finish all three parts if you don’t find the entire series to buy all at one time. Part one is so familiar to situations I went thru ( or any gay guys) who are uncertain of themselves, or know about themselves and are trying to find the love of their life, or those guys who are sure of themselves but fear the worst from people if they come out (especially parents). I experienced all the venues mentioned. High school is great when you and your buddies share one common thing (a penis doesn’t count). The funny tricks you pull on each other and the scary situations you don’t know how to get out of. This book was hard to put down to do my day to day stuff.
Jason Carrillo (Jock, Good Looks, Beautiful Girlfriend, Popular, Unsatisfied) Kyle Meeks (Swim Team Star, Friendly, Easygoing, Intelligent, Confused) Nelson Glassman (Independent, Opinionated, Defiant, Joker, In Love)
High school is hard enough as it is without falling in love with your best friend- who’s crushing on the most popular guy in school. Or feeling like your parents would throw you out if they knew you were gay. Or being afraid of who you are…

This movie constantly comes of the dusty shelf every so often to bring a little happiness in my life. I feel this is one of those movies that would make it in the classics category such as, Some Like It Hot, (Tony Curtis and Jack Lennon with Marilynn Monroe). The humor in it is one that hasn’t gone away for me. Being a drag queen in the past, I can relate to many of circumstances, but that’s another story. This movie, for me has become a, “take me away from the world of worries” and it never lets me down. All this and aside the fact that not many male actors can look good in drag, these 3 sure fooled me. If it has been awhile since you’ve seen it, drag it out and dust it off (if you own it), If you don’t own it, rent it, you’ll be smiling and feeling good by the end.
Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo star as three “girls” who just wanna have fun in a hilarious comedy about repairing broken hearts, broken dreams and broken nails. En route from
