DID YOU EVER SEE A HORSE GO BY? A Coming Out Memoir by Frank DeFrancesco

An Email “Review”
This memoir is special. I’ve known Frank for twenty five years. During that time, I’ve known him as a compassionate activist who has worked on issues including HIV/AIDS and LGBTQI awareness and support. This very personal memoir helped me to understand the challenges that Frank faced from his family, his religion and society. To not be able to freely express who you are and who you love, deeply affects the way you live your life.
I encourage you to read this book at this amazing point in history where marriage to the person you love is becoming accepted yet homophobia still abounds. In a gentle way, Frank helps us to understand the importance of a society which nurtures youth as they realize that their sexual orientation is what it is. Gay or straight or bisexual, we need to love and accept each other.
I especially urge you to read the epilogue which is a powerful statement on its own. I’ve known Frank for a quarter of a century and have seen his impact as a comfortably out gay man. His book tells the story of his untapped potential during those years of struggling to hide from himself and others who he truly was. I think it is crucial for those of us who haven’t lived in fear of others discovering who we are, to read the stories of those who have. This book is important.
