Excellent discussion of unique apects of gay relationships, April 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rainbow Family Values: A Family Formation Guide for Lesbian and Gay Couples (Paperback)
This book is an excellent review of the unique aspects of same-sex relationships. This book is an outstanding guide for gay men and women to read before dating or becoming overly involved in a relationship. The book explores why many of the problems of gay relationships suffer are because there are no good models for gays to base their relationships upon. Consequently, heterosexual models are emulated, which often negatively impacts gay and lesbian relationships. Michael Piazza, with humor and personal anecdotes, walks the reader through why gay and lesbian relationships are different from their heterosexual parallels, and offers witty insight into developing exciting and stable relationships. This is a must read book in a political era of the "Family Values" debate -- showing that the strength of family values is not in limiting the ideal family to a mom, dad, and 2.3 kids, but in celebrating and actively nurturing the diversity of ALL American families.
