Something to Tell
Chasten Buttigieg Chasten Buttigieg will appear at Oak Lawn Branch Library DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Chasten Buttigieg says he wrote I Have Something to Tell You for all the young adults who have no one else to tell them they’re valued and to share other lessons he’s learned along the way.
But he also hopes parents will read the book to learn how to be more supportive to their LGBTQ kids. And for teachers and other allies, he even added a section of questions to start classroom discussions — at least in those states where discussion of LGBTQ issues is still legal in public schools.
I Have Something to Tell You is exactly the book you’d expect from Chasten, whom we got to know by observing him during the last presidential campaign.
The book is compelling and innocent, well written and appropriate — and not on anyone’s banned book list. At times, the book is challenging.
