In Wrongo being gay is the norm – everything else is weird and maybe even illegal. So when Ask realises he likes girls, his life is suddenly turned upside down. Now he has to do everything he can to avoid being outed as the school’s newest hetero – and to hang on to his friends at the same time.

Damn Hetero is a warm satire, a tale of friendship, falling in love and finding out who you are in a world that would rather you were a different person.
