He taught me how to see the world from the point of view of a Methodist raised in Iowa, North Dakota, and California. Difficult for me, a radical Greek raised in Lowell, Massachusetts who thought another Greek Massachusetts politician, Michael Dukakis, was too conservative. This book explores my origins, how I became political, and how I came out as a gay man in Boston over the period of the 1960s through the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"On Demand Publishing, LLC-Create Space","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054347272432,"sku":"9781522927327","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781522927327_p0.jpg?v=1763737745","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781522927327","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
