And, for better or worse, these touch points shaped her adult identity. She came out on the other side like many millennials did: in her words, gay as hell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrow on your Von Dutch hats and join Grace on a journey back through the pop culture moments of the aughts with \u003ci\u003eThe 2000s Made Me Gay\u003c\/i\u003e, before the cataclysmic shift in LGBTQ representation and acceptance—a time not so long ago, which many seem to forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49365305884976,"sku":"BDe805","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/295852-e805-Square.jpg?v=1734542820","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-e805","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
