Your CoWorkers Should Read This Book,
By Robert Abbate (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Overcoming Heterosexism and Homophobia (Paperback)
This is an excellent text. I highly recommend it for anyone involved in LGBT issues. This highly readable text will appeal to readers of all stripes, all orientations, so leave it out where others will see it... and wait to see who picks it up! Come out of the closet and bring someone with you. It's a wonderful journey.
