(Journal of the American Medical Association)

"Expressly meant for those not in the know on subjects like the historical persecution of gays, the psychology and biology of homosexuality, social issues like 'stigma management,' and even the thorny problems of transsexualism and transvestitism... A valuably balanced study written in clear language."

(Publishers Weekly)

"Mondimore, a psychiatrist and author of Depression, the Mood Disease, adds this unique and thoughtful study of the growing number of titles on the subject of Homosexuality...what is unique is the author's ability to distill a vast array of data to create cogent, readable prose...Given the current level of discourse in our culture on this issue, Mondimore adds an important and reasonable, voice to the mix, and his work deserves wide readership."

(Library Journal)

"This book is informative, concise, simple to read, and an excellent resource book."

(Rev. Dale PritchardPh.d Lambda Book Report)
