Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Helpful and informative book.
Easy to read, to the point. Answers basic questions about Gays and Lesbians. Good reference book for anyone who has unanswered questions. I use it like a reference book, when a question comes up I open the book to see if there is an answer.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Maybe for homosexuals but not for real answers!
This may be a great book for homosexuals, or those thinking that they may be a homosexual, but for the rest of us who have real questions about homosexuality it is just more frustrating than informative. Almost the entire book can be summed up by saying that homosexuals are just people like you and me and have the same problems we do. No wonder this book was rejected by so many publishers before the author found one to publish it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is the FIRST Gay Studies book you should read.
This is a coming out tool. It's very truthful and matter-of-fact. Not encumbered by supernatural or religious bias. This is the easiest thing you can give friends and family. It may not change their views but at least they'll finally understand where you're coming from. I use this when they won't listen to my own voice. It helped me come out to myelf too! I was raised VERY sheltered. I read this book and later learned from personal experience that it was all true. Before I read this book I had many ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ALL THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS!
When I first got this book, I had already accepted my true-self. This book helps answer any questions about homosexuality whether or not you are. It is an honest, well-written, thoughtful book. Whether you are curious, gay, straight, transexual whatever. This book is a must have!
