What If Someone I Know Is Gay?: Answers to Questions About What It Means to Be Gay and Lesbian

A revision of the 2000 edition, this is an invaluable resource for straight teens with gay classmates, teens who may be questioning their own sexuality, and teens dealing with a parent’s coming out. Even children raised from birth in lesbian or gay families may find it addresses questions that teen awkwardness prevents them from asking their parents. This edition also boasts a new chapter just for parents—both those with gay children and those who simply want to be able to explain gay issues to their kids. The book is unfortunately brief on gender issues, although it does distinguish between sexual orientation and gender identity.
