Outing Yourself: How to Come Out as Lesbian or Gay to Your Family, Friends and Colleagues - Tapa blanda

By the author of "Queer in America", this is a step-by-step guide to coming out of the closet in the 1990s. Michelangelo Signorile is well-known to lesbian and gay readers, through his first book and his monthly column in "Out" magazine. This is a 14-step programme for coming out, written for people of all ages, from teenagers to adults coming out later in life. Presented with the stories of people coming out of the closet, as well as openly gay psychologists and journalists, the 14 steps to Signorile's programme include: identifying yourself; getting past self-loathing; meeting other gay people; telling your best friend; that first talk with your family; assessing the situation at work; helping others to come out; and not thinking about it at all.
