Book Reviews of PINS
Book Review: Wrestling with Identity
Summary: 5 Stars
High school homophobia raises its ugly head in this story about love between Joey and Donald. In recent years much has been written about the social construction of GLBTQ identities. This book deals with the extra power given to homophobia when GLBTQ identities are denied. Caught in the milieu of high school wrestling, neither Joey nor Donald can accept what the love they feel for each other means. As a result, they are both unprepared to take a stand when their friends attack a fellow classmate and their silence results in his death. The irony is that both homophobes and GLBTQ youngsters could be PINS (Persons In Need of Supervision).
