Former local Brett Berk’s parenting tips might shock some (pick your nose! throw snowballs!), but he’s queer – so he’s right.
For a man who doesn’t have any kids – and has zero desire to raise one, or two, or five – Brett Berk is the Tim Gunn of child-rearing. Like the “Project Runway” know-it-all’s venture into publishing, Berk’s book debut, “The Gay Uncle’s Guide to Parenting,” a hilariously hip how-to read, offers input on potty-training, nose-picking and spanking (hey, we’re talking about raising kids here!). And like Gunn, the formerly Farmington Hills-based author, who will sign copies at 7 p.m. March 19 at Borders in Birmingham, is also queer – and that, when considering that gays are the new grandmas, makes him wholly qualified. Right?
