One's life can be easy or not. What guides one's destiny depends on where one was born, one's education skills, family, religion, and so forth. But when someone is gay and is born in a small town, where it seems everyone is against gay people, how does one survive without wounding family and friends? In some cases it seems preferable to pretend to be hetero or to live a secret gay life! Find out how a South American loved women and men in such a situation!

Do you know when you read a book and you can not stop reading and even when you read it all, you don't realize the book is finished??? That was my impression to this book. I read and read it again and now I will pass to my nephew (he is an not open gay) and hope it can bring him some strengh to come out from the closet, just as Valdeck did.

This amazing author just got my attention. He writes in a way I have never seen before. He caught my eyes to the book cover, and its content. Good poems, which tell us how gay man lives in Brazil. A country side city can both gives you a real lover, as put your sexuality in doubt... How to go on living, if you do not accept to be as you are??? Find answers in this wonderful author words.

...Dear writer, You were SO lucky when God choose you to write poems for the gay people. It is the most amazing book I ever saw and maybe it won't appear another similar book... You are so hearty when you tell about your lovers throu poems. Thanks God for that gift and keep writting, because you OWN the tool.
Your book was so helpful to me: I was crying my pains and now I am smiling when I open the book and see poems like "My Love Gel" (page 18). (...).
