Rezensionen

The title of this excellent book perfectly captures the feelings of anticipation and bewilderment that most gays, lesbians, and bisexuals feel after the initial trauma of coming out. Drawing on his own personal and professional experiences, McNaught (Gay Issues in the Workplace, LJ 10/15/93) focuses here on the problems and issues likely to confront newly out gay men and women. He sensitively and sensibly addresses topics including heterosexism, internalized homophobia and heterophobia, sexuality, relationships and gay marriage, legal and financial problems, workplace issues, family matters, religion and spirituality, and the special needs of gay youth. A list of resources supplements the text. More meditative than directional, McNaught raises issues that will nevertheless linger with the reader and engender reflection and discussion. Warmly affirmative, realistic without being downbeat, and moving in its candor, this important work is essential to gay studies collections and is highly recommended for public libraries as well.?Richard J.
