About this ebook
A compassionate and powerful resource for gay men—now revised and updated for the 21st century.
Richard Isay was the first person to challenge the homophobia of the psychoanalytic community and prove, through his own story and those of his patients, that homosexuality is an innate characteristic rather than a learned pathology. Now revised and updated for the 21st-century, the groundbreaking Being Homosexual carries the reader through the main developmental stages in the gay male's life cycle from the initial awareness of same-sex impulses to coming out, forming friendships with other gay men, and a mature integration of one's sexual identity.

It really helped me come out of the closet. I think homosexuals need to stand up for themselves and stop being ashamed. I mean, what's wrong with taking a wiener up your bootyhole?
