Memoirs
True stories from the lives of gay men from all walks of life. These books are at times poignant, scary, comical, sexual, and sad, and all make for great reads.
Coming Out
Coming out is one of the most difficult processes for a gay man or woman to go through. You have to come out first to yourself, then to your friends and family. And every time you meet a new person, there is always the question of whether or not you will come out to them. These books will help you better understand the complex coming out process.

Hi there! I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that California's legalized same-sex marriage is at risk. There's a referendum on the November ballot to block it, so we have to be sure to VOTE NO on 8, VOTE NO on HATE! If you live in or have friends or family who live in California, please get them registered to vote! We must not lose this one, otherwise same-sex marriage in other states will surely fail. Visit my profile (http://www.squidoo.com/no8) for more info. Posted August 22, 2008 |
