5.0 out of 5 stars
Inside a life well-lived, September 24, 2007
This review is from: Someone Gay: Memoirs (Paperback)
Don Clark's story is moving on many levels. At one level the story is about transcending poverty and re-invented himself, at another an inside look at how a healthy gay identity is established. And anyone interested in how social change happens -- especially within the movement for GLBT equality -- will find this of interest.
Dr. Clark's book Loving Someone Gay was the first gay self-help book and touched the lives of countless men and women around the world. With this memoir we are gifted with the back story. It is easy to imagine that those who are leaders in society are somehow so different from the rest of us that they sprung fully-formed from the womb as self-aware activists. Someone Gay captures the process of transformation, the one-reality-living-inside-another-reality sense of how humans evolve and change. That makes it a story of hope for those who are working through the process of coming out, of claiming a healthy gay identity. Kudos.
