What I'm reading: Clay's way

Blair Mastbaum's Clay's Way
Why do gay people like seemingly anti-gay books, movies, etc.? This was a good book (yes, it is a "coming of age"/coming out story), but I would have enjoyed it more if it didn't just stop (no conclusion of the story/Sam needed a resolution with Clay) and if Clay wasn't such a self-hating homophobe and actually dealt with his feelings for Sam.

Oh well, it was an enjoyable read, and I liked the realistic teen-punk p.o.v. (most stories are always told from the perfect, average boy perspective), but I can't say the book left me with a good feeling for it or the characters.
