Instead of focusing on how this book teaches lonely, confused kids that there is somewhere they will fit in, that there is hope, and that you have the freedom to make your own choices in life, parents are focusing on the fact that the book tackles some of the issues the black community is facing and *gasp* drag queens. He finds the place he finally feels comfortable in – The Drag Society. This is a book about a teenager that doesn’t quite fit in anywhere he goes. When he discovers the Drag Society, he finally finds where he belongs-and the Black Flamingo is born. All his life, he’s navigated what it means to be Greek-Cypriot and Jamaican-but never quite feeling Greek or Black enough.Īs he gets older, Michael’s coming out is only the start of learning who he is and where he fits in. Michael is a mixed-race gay teen growing up in London.
