Time Out by Sean Hayes, Carlyn Greenwald, Todd Milliner
4.25
challenging emotional tense slow-paced

Barclay is a star basketball player that's been holding onto a secret, he's gay. He decides to come out at a pep rally and fully expects support but finds almost none. So he quits the team when they don't support him and gets ostracized by most of his school.

But in his time out, he finds another purpose in getting support where he can to get an abominable man off the school board in favor of another, more understanding woman of all clubs and such that make a great school.

The people that stand by him are great. I really liked Zack though I wish Barclay had listened to him when he first reached out because he really did want to understand why Barclay came out the way he did. There are some characters that are absolutely deplorable in their actions and words about Barclay.
