JAY’S GAY AGENDA BY JASON JUNE (368 PAG)

Tell about the world-buildg for Jay’s Gay Agenda. In terms of Seattle, that was the cy that I first went to after high school and fally got to see what a gay muny was like. Jay’s actual Gay Agenda had a b of an olr Ned’s Declassified feel to me; ’s very much about what Jay thks he needs to do high school and then over time, he realiz what should actually be on his Gay Agenda.

Jay’s a b more list-obssed than I was, but I fely had a diary where I wrote all my romantic and hormonal gay hop and dreams. But mentally, all those hop are still there, so I tapped to that to create the Gay Agenda. As Max tak Jay unr his wg, or rather, as Max ph Jay to the gay datg pool, Jay realiz that so much of his self-doubt wasn’t need, and jt gog for is the greatt gift he n give himself.
