It goes without saying that even today, it's not easy to be gay in America. While young gay men often come out more readily, even those from the most progressive of backgrounds still struggle with the legacy of early-life stigma and a deficit of self-acceptance, which can fuel doubt, regret, and, at worst, self-loathing. Through moving stories - of friends and patients, and his own - Odets considers how experiences early in life launch men on trajectories aimed at futures that are not authentically theirs.

An Important Book for Gay Men
Revisado: 09-23-19
This book really hit home for me. The author is a gay therapist with decades of experience working with gay men of all ages. His knowledge and insight into the issues that impact the lives of gay men will resonate with many men who struggle with understanding themselves and the lasting impact of growing up in a society that doesn't value us. Too often the result of this trauma is shame, isolation, and life-long feelings of being different. What I found most valuable about this book was the many personal stories of gay men the author has worked with throughout his career, including his own heartwarming story of love, friendship, and loss. I highly recommend this book.

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

These narrators are addictive!

Wow! I'm so glad I took a chance on this audiobook. I got totally wrapped up in this story about two hockey players who find each other again after a fallout. The two narrators do an amazing job of building up the sexual tension between these men. Some of the scenes are smoking hot and the stuff of jock fantasies. I now have to listen to the next book in this series and start following these narrators!

From longtime activist Cleve Jones, here is a sweeping, beautifully written memoir about a full and remarkable American life. Jones brings to life the magnetic spell cast by 1970s San Francisco, the drama and heartbreak of the AIDS crisis and the vibrant generation of gay men lost to it, and his activist work on labor, immigration, and gay rights, which continues today.

When We Rise is an amazing account of the life of Cleve Jones, who has been involved in some of the most important events in LGBT history over the last 40 years. I really enjoyed listening to Cleve tell of his struggles as a closeted gay kid who ventures out to San Francisco in 1972 and finds himself in the middle of a gay revolution. Hearing about his experiences working with Harvey Milk and witnessing the beginning of the AIDS crisis are powerful and heartbreaking. When We Rise provides an important account of the gay rights movement from someone who has been there fighting for equality his entire life.
