I know there is alot of topics about the book but I did not want to read any of them since I have not finished the book.
I just finished the chapter about Opening Night of Rent and His mom went up to her hotel room to get rest and skipped the party. Well I noticed when He showed him mom the article in The Advocate he said he came out to his mom already. Did I miss something? How did he come out to her and where did it say it in the book?
Thanks!

i haven't gotten that far yet - i'm trying so hard to use every free minute i have to read, and these free minutes are far and few between! 
however,last night i read through the "jonathan" chapter, and i have never had a book move me the way that this did. i sat in my big cozy chair and sobbed through every line. i was so emotionally drained at the end of the chapter that i decided i was done for the night, and that i would tackle some more reading at work today.
i can definitly say that after reading only about half of this book, i don't think i'll ever walk into the nederlander and see this musical the same way. i used to see it weekly, and i obviously loved it, but i think i lost sight of many of the real points and the real story behind it. this is bringing it all back, and reminding me how incredibly special the music, and the characters and jonathan all really are.
sorry about the threadjack - i couldn't help it

He bounces between time periods in the book.. he will go back to the subject later on.

Anthony's book is so amazing...
And yeah if you haven't figured it out yet, he does jump around in time. And I promise he talks about coming out to his mom. I don't remember where exatly. But it's there. Enjoy it! It's fantabulous!
