GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS: True Tales of Love, Lust, and Friendship Between Straight Women and Gay Men, edited by Melissa de la Cruz and Tom Dolby (Dutton, May 17, 2007), is an anthology of original personal essays about these unique friendships and relationships. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to The Trevor Project, the twenty-four hour crisis and suicide prevention helpline for gay and questioning teens and twenty-somethings. At the beginning

Candid and powerful, heartbreaking and hopeful, this critically acclaimed doc will be available on loaded DVD for the first time May 15.
