Summary: A Valuable Resource for All Gays & Lesbians!
Comment: I just wish this book was available when I came out and discovered my gay identity many years ago. Maria has put together in these 13 Chapters all the questions & answers that may effect your personal growth as a gay or lesbian. It's an excellent tool for anyone just coming out in dealing with the many questions & feelings that may arise in discovering and validating your new homosexual life. It's a wonderful source for anyone who wants to feel positive about their gay identity and/or to better understand their homosexual feelings. This is an excellent book for all gays & even straights so that they can fully understand the importance of our rites of passage & rituals in our gay lives. These rites of passages are our life experiences & growth transitions that are different for homosexuals than for heterosexuals. Anyone having a problem with their homosexual feelings, relationships, or questioning their gay or lesbian identity will find this book very helpful.

There are included many exercises in the chapters with excellent questions that if answered honestly should be a great help to any gay or lesbian's development in life. This book would be a wonderful resource for any parent to read to help them better understand their gay/lesbian son or daughter. Highly Recommended!!

Summary: A Valuable Resource and Workbook
Comment: As the mother of a lesbian, I found Ms.Mohler's book to be most helpful and informative. Knowledge and open communication has helped me tremendously to alleviate the feelings of denial, guilt,fear,and even loss that I,as a parent,went through in coming to terms with the reality of my daughter's homosexuality. This book's descriptions of the issues of shame and fear moved me greatly, and has furthered my understanding and ability to "be there" for my child ,and to validate her worth and specialness. I only wish I( and my daughter )had had this book 10 years ago when she was beginning to struggle with her sexual identity. I would recommend it to all parents of gays, in the hope that it will further each one's ability to love and support their child unconditionally.I would have given is five stars, had Ms.Mohler included exercises for parents and other family members.
