Matt Tompkins, a reserved gay man, has always played by the rules and has created a comfortable but unfulfilling life for himself.
When his bold best friend Greg reaps unexpected rewards for standing up for himself in a very public display, Matt's jealousy leads him to risk everything when he's confronted by two attackers.
Determined to be more like Greg, a split-second reaction brings astonishing changes to Matt's life--for better and for worse.
Set in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, Gaybash explores the boundaries of love and friendship and the unintended consequences of wanting to be somebody else.
