Richie Jackson & Antoni Porowski Are Coming to 92Y in January

The 92nd Street Y announces award-winning Broadway, TV and film producer Richie Jackson in conversation with Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski on Wednesday, January 29, launching the publication of Jackson's new book, Gay Like Me. In this poignant and urgent love letter to his son, Jackson reflects on his experiences as a gay man in America and the progress and setbacks of the LGBTQ community over the last 50 years.
About Gay Like Me
When Jackson's son born through surrogacy came out to him at age 15, the successful producer, now in his 50s, was compelled to reflect on his experiences and share his wisdom on life for LGBTQ Americans over the past half-century.
