Outing Yourself (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780684826172)

Coming out isn't easy--but with Signorile's 14-step program, it's a lot easier.No matter how much you prepare, coming out as gay or lesbian is a difficult, emotional process -- a process that will continue long after the words are spoken and the secret is out. There's no magic formula, but Outing Yourself by Michelangelo Signorile offers structure, guidance, and straightforward advice to all those who are struggling with their sexuality and unsure of what to do, who have accepted that they are gay but are still afraid of coming out, or who consider themselves out of the closet but realize they have a few more steps to go. Signorile's 14-step program--complete with exercises, meditation notes, and anger checks, as well as the accounts of the coming-out experiences of other lesbians and gay men--shows how you can successfully handle this life-changing, life-renewing process. A guide for the coming-out journey, Outing Yourself will convince all who read it that, in the words of the author, "The stress of coming out will never be as hard on you as the stress of staying in was."
