-Addresses an important and timely issue: While progress against homophobic laws in the US has been made in the past decade, homophobia still has noticeable negative ramifications on families, including the fact that half of LGBTQ adults live in states where job discrimination based on sexual preference is legal.

-Huge target market: LGBTQ people of all ages and baby boomers who were or may have been raised by a closeted gay parent, some who now may be discovering this fact after their parent’s death, will be interested in the personal stories and historical references in this memoir.

-Philanthropic angle: The author will donate a percentage of the proceeds from this book to the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco.
