5.0 out of 5 stars Here is a book that every one (gay or straight) should read., March 6, 1997
By A Customer
Howard Brown M.D. was NYC's first health-services administrator. He faced great odds on coming *OUT* in 1973 as a public figure. His announcement, has he put it, "ended my life of fear." Through out the pages he tells of stories of small town America gay men, the task of 'Coming Out', and how there are more gay doctors, lawyers, and teachers than there are hairdressers. Brown's book tells of his own experiences and helps to reinforce the homosexual's self-esteem
