Booktalk: Educator & Advocate Chasten Buttigieg’s “I Have Something to Tell You—For Young Adults”

I Have Something to Tell You” by Chasten Buttigieg is the young adult adaptation of his candid bestselling memoir about growing up gay in his small Midwestern town.

He is on a 30+ stop nationwide in-person tour, including places where anti-LGBTQ legislation and book bans are on the rise.

Listen in as he describes the most common comments he hears on the road and explains the differences between questions he’s asked at events depending on whether he’s in a red, purple or blue state.

Chasten Buttigieg is the husband of Pete, a former Democratic presidential candidate, and dad to Penelope and Gus.
