I recently recommended three books to a friend dealing with the internalized shame that all gay or bisexual men experience. I also list two books I haven’t read yet. If you’ve read them, let me know if you recommend purchasing them.
Here are the three books that have (and are) helping me deal with internalized shame:
1. Coming Out of Shame : Transforming Gay and Lesbian Lives by Gershen Kaufman & Lev Raphael
2. Outing Yourself: How to Come Out as Lesbian or Gay to Your Family, Friends, and Coworkers by Michelangelo Signorile
3. Ten Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Lives by Joe Kort
These two on on my “to read” list. If you’ve read either of them, please let me know what you thought:
The Way Out: The Gay Man’s Guide to Freedom No Matter if You’re in Denial, Closeted, Half In, Half Out, Just Out or Been Around the Block by Chris Nutter
The Velvet Rage: Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man’s World by Alan Downs
