On Being Gay

Brian McNaught has a special knack for enabling people to understand what it means to be gay. He has done so as a writer and lecturer since 1974, explaining, encouraging, and often healing his audiences. McNaught provides a look-- sometimes humorous, always insightful-- at such concerns as whether or not to "come out," maintaining ties with one's family, building love relationships that last, developing an honest relationship with God, dealing with AIDS, and accepting oneself as decent and worthy of respect.

First sentence: Before we can begin to love ourselves, which I believe is crucial for sound mental health and total union with God, we have to root out the negative stereotypes with which we were raised, and begin to build positive self-images.
