Pellegrino is also vocal about his journey toward self-acceptance and his identity as a gay man. With current anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being implemented in the United States,How Do I Un-Remember This?plays an extra important role in encouraging empathy.
“I hope that maybe someone who hasn’t looked at life through the lens of an LGBTQ person might be able to see things a little bit differently,” Pellegrino says. “I’ve found [that] people who’ve read the book [are] able to relate to these stories whether or not they’re a gay man.”Despite its long road to publication, Pellegrino is more than happy with the finished product.“It was a challenge, but I am so proud of how the book turned out,” Pellegrino says. “It’s really the exact kind of book that I wanted to make.”Pellegrino is busy with hisEverything Iconicpodcast, where he is currently recappingThe Real Housewivesseries, as well as recent television revivals likeAnd Just Like That…(“There was a fun to that show,” he says of the originalSex and the City.) He also announced an upcoming tour and new book, titledThe Jolliest Bunch: Unhinged Holiday Stories, which publishes October 24, 2023 from Sourcebooks.
More than anything, Pellegrino hopes his story will reach a wide audience.“I hope people read it and are able to relate to the stories,” he says. “I hope people will finish reading it and just feel better about themselves and about the world.”How Do I Un-Remember This?is now available for purchase, with exclusive signed copies only available at Target.
