This is a haggadah, but an unconventional one. Many in the LGBTQ community come from humble roots; We move from suburban, conservative areas to big cities. We come to terms with our identities as being different from the families that raised us. This story is not unlike the journey Moses took. "Gay Passover" reimagines the Exodus story in this way, but as a comedy that features Neil Patrick Harris as Moses, Cher as God, Oprah as the Angel of Death. It's supposed to be lighthearted and make you laugh. The book began as a dinner party in my San Francisco home and in 2019 became a very successful Kickstarter. Now you can own it, too.The story begins in a suburban Middle American town, where residents living there are plagued with totally basic hair-dos, and they live in ugly homes. Soon the gays arrive, fixing up the neighborhoods and throwing fabulous wedding parties. The town mayor begins to worry the entire town will turn gay, and orders families to kill their gay babies. One mother couldn't bear to do it, though, and so one child would be spared and eventually become Neil Patrick Harris, the adoptive son of conservative senators.Some favorite moments: - Let's just say "The Burning Bush" is a lesbian bar in Kansas.- The 10 plagues for suburban straight people include skinny jeans and glitter bombs.- If Cher could turn back time, you bet she would have declared herself god of the gays, like she does in this story.This book has been beautifully illustrated by Max Charnley. In addition to the story itself, some other sections include: - A "gayder" plate with symbols reflective of the LGBTQ community and our shared experiences.- Songs and games like "Let My Gays Go" and "One Twink, One Twink" a variation on Chad Gadya- "The four gays" a variation on "The four children"- Seven recipes to throw a highly successful "Gay Passover" party
