WATCH: Aussie Dads Reading 'I Think I'm a Poof'

The book, which may or may not be intended for children, is read by the fathers of gay sons.

Australian author Samuel Leighton-Dore recently wrote an amusing book about a young boy coming out to his dad. I Think I'm a Poof seems a little satirical for children -- like a kid's book for adults, akin to Go the F*@k to Sleep -- but it's quite a delight for gays and the people who love them.

Leighton-Dore's father, along with the dads of other gay friends of the writer, read the book aloud before sharing their sons' coming out stories. It's very heartwarming, especially with those accents:

When Courtney Gore sat down with her Texas school district’s curriculum, she expected to find something, anything, that would justify the panic she’d been hearing for months. The warnings had been vivid and insistent: children were being “indoctrinated,” parents were losing control, and public schools had become staging grounds in a cultural war over gender, sexuality, and race. Gore, a former educator turned Texas school board member, had moved close enough to those arguments to believe that maybe there was a fire somewhere behind all that smoke. Keep Reading →
