BOOK REVIEW: Becoming Gay : the journey to self acceptance By Richard A. Isay

Jan 15 2011
The importance of living authentically—accepting one’s homosexuality and embracing a positive gay identity—is at the heart of Dr. Richard Isay’s powerful work on the psychological development of gay men. In the candid language of personal case histories, including his own, Isay shows how disguising one’s sexual identity can induce anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He looks at the dilemma of gay men who are closeting in heterosexual marriages as well as at the specific concerns of adolescents, older men, and those confronted with HIV or AIDS. Isay exposes the tenacity with which psychoanalysis has clung to outdated views of homosexuality. Becoming Gay offers great insight for students of psychology, gender studies, and sociology.

• Cinema Review - I love you Phillip Morris Apr 5 2010 This film about a God fearing ex-cop turned gay conman is full of surprises and lots of laughs with Jim Carrey giving one of his best performances.<br /> <br /> I just love it when you see a film you have absolutely no clue about and it turns out to be the funniest and most entertaining film so far this year. I Love You Phillip Morris is apparently based on a true story (or so we are told in the opening credits) about a rather ingenious, and slightly crazy, conman who downright refuses to go straight, no really, straight is definitely not in this guy’s vocabulary.
