Paul, a high-school sophomore, is gay.  He's known he was gay since he was in kindergarten.  Everyone else knows it, too, and nobody cares.  Clearly, the world in which Paul lives differs from the real world: two boys walk through town holding hands; the cross-dressing quarterback, named Infinite Darlene, is not only captain of the football team but also homecoming queen; and the school has a biker cheerleading team.  Even in this unusual world, however, the course of true love doesn't always run smoothly.  Paul meets and gets the boy, Noah, a new kid in town, but loses him. David Levithan provides a story with characters to whom many high school adults can relate.
