Join us for a discussion of Pain Before the Rainbow by Jack Cooper.

This gripping book chronicles the life of a man who was acutely aware of being gay as a boy in an unaccepting world—a time before the rainbow. Cooper presents an eloquent narrative through a series of stories that engage the reader’s mind and heart in this skillfully composed exploration of identity and compelling perspective through the lens of a man who lives and loves outside the lines of the oppressive heterosexual boxes that society and religion drew and that condition boys to think and act according to a preset definition of masculinity. 2025. 182 pages. Please register online.*

We will be joined by the author for this discussion!


Read with Pride is an ongoing reading group that meets the first Thursday of each month and reads fiction and nonfiction from the LGBTQ+ community.

Co-sponsored by Saratoga Pride
