Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 8-12-- Few titles address the concerns and fears of YAs grappling with questions surrounding their own sexual identity. This is a simple, compassionate, and factual starting point for gay teens and the people who care about them. Rench's tone is warm and accepting as she explains what it means to be gay. She discusses homosexuality and religious beliefs, offers some considerations and guidelines for "coming out," and outlines some crucial factors gay YAs need to consider before becoming sexually active. A bibliography and a helpful list of national support groups are included. Although this is not an in-depth study, it will begin to fill in a shameful gap in most YA collections. --Doris A. Fong, Benson Polytechnic High School, Portland, OR

AMAZING BOOK!,
This review is from: Understanding Sexual Identity: A Book for Gay Teens and Their Friends (Library Binding)
This book is Amazing! As a friend of a Gay teen (my best friend) I was scared. I only knew about the stereotypes and what pepople at school talked about and said. After reading this book, I discussed it with him. The book covers subjects from "Why they're gay" to "Aids and Other STDs". This is a valuable book for any gay teen, because it not only provides reliable information, but it has that message of safety that many books lack these days. This book would be great for any Teenager, male or female, who is either gay/lesbian/bisexual or a friend of a gay/lesbian/or bisexual friend. Also, this book would be good for any other family member, because the words of Janice show understanding and helps people understand gay people in a different light. Definetly worth buying, I guarintee you won't regret it!
