Summary: A VALUABLE BOOK FOR EVERY GAY MAN
Comment: Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the book is in identifying the often subtle barriers, experiences, and issues that may prevent a gay child from developing a sense of pride, confidence, and well-being as an adult gay man.
With chapters specifically on relationships with the mother, the distant father, addictions, and various ways a gay male may experience "betrayal" because of his differences, the authors present the thoughtful material in a manner that encourages the reader to reflect on his own experiences and situation.
While the material is concisely presented, I benefited from reading it several times. With each reading the depth and wisdom in the book led to even better understanding and self-realization.
I like the way the authors use solid well-based principles of psychology but adapt them to the unique experience and perception of a gay child. That approach made it much more relevant than other books I have read.
A gay child and his parents will necessarily relate to each other differently from that of a straight child in subtle, even insidious ways, of which neither the child nor the parents may be aware. I think this book gets to the heart of that matter.
It provides a clear voice to any gay man interested in continuing to grow and develop in his understanding and way of being. I believe everyone would find it an interesting and valuable book.

Summary: This is a MUST READ for gay men their family & friends!
Comment: This book gives great insight into the process of developing into an emotionally mature, well adjusted, confident and happy gay man. It is extremely well written and clear. The authors say what they have to say, make their point and move on to the next topic. I think this book should be read by gay men of any age as well as all the people who love and care about them.
After reading this book I gave copies to several people who I thought would benefit from reading it. Without exception, everyone, gay and straight, felt they gained insight and understanding from Gay Warrior.
I am actively involved with our local PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) chapter here in New Mexico, where the authors live, and can say without hesitation that these two men have made a significant contribution to the adjustment and happiness of gay men of all ages in troding the path to becoming proud gay men.
I've read many books about coming out, gay relationships, intimancy and sex, and this is THE book to have if you are only going to have one book on being gay and acceptance of the gay man's sexual orientation.

Summary: Incredible; "Changed my Life"
Comment: I am fortunate to live in Santa Fe where I have been in one of Gary and Jim's Men's groups. I have been in this group for close to four years, but until I read this book many of their insights I had heard over and over had never really sunk in.
"Gay Warrior" has become a roadmap on my personal journey on what it means to be a powerful gay man; moving closer and closer to living up to my full potential and being free to live a vibrant and joyous life.
I have told many friends across the country about "Gay Warrior" and they all have thanked me profusely and had their own version of how this book is changing their lives.
In fact, one friend in Canada gave the book to his gay therapist who uses it as a reference text in working with not only gay men but all of his male clients.
I am forever in gratitude to these two warriors for writing this book.
