A BOOK FOR ALL GAY YOUTH TO READ,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Letters to Our Children: Lesbian and Gay Adults Speak to the New Generation (The Lesbian and Gay Experience) (Library Binding)
Five years ago I found an ad in FOCUS POINT, requesting writers who wanted to contribute to a book for gay and lesbian youth. I contacted Larry Dane Brimner and as time passed, my essay "Addressing Harassment: You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" was accepted for publication in LETTERS TO OUR CHILDREN.It was an honor, not only to be included in this collection of essays to ease gay youth into the acceptance of the difficulties they face as they come out, but to see so many other fine contributions in this book. When I was coming out in the late 1970s, there were many similar stories, but nothing of this nature was available to me. Thank goodness, Brimner decided to put this material together for all of you, because, hopefully, it will have a positive effect on everyone who reads it, and will make the coming out process easier for the new generation of gays and lesbians.

A Valuable Book Covering a Wide Range of Topics,

This review is from: Letters to Our Children: Lesbian and Gay Adults Speak to the New Generation (The Lesbian and Gay Experience) (Library Binding)
In 1995, I read an article in FOCUS POINT, a local gay publication, regarding contributions to a book for gay youth. I applied and sent an essay I'd just completed titled "Addressing Harassment: You've Got to be Carefully Taught." What a surprise to find that I would be a part of Larry Dane Brimner's book, LETTERS TO OUR CHILDREN.Since then, I've read and reread this book, and have shared sections with people. Everyone who's read my essay has complimented me on it, and it was truly an honor to be part of this experience. Growing up in Wisconsin during the 1960s and 70s, there were no outlets for gay youth. Fortunately that has changed, and the contributors to this book all share things they've been through, because each and every one of us believes that no one else should go through the same experiences without knowing it's happened before, and furthermore, learning how to cope with the situation. LETTERS TO OUR CHILDREN is a terrific book, and I'm proud of my part in it! |
