	All Books by Jack Hart - Editor of : Straight? : True Stories of Unexpected Sexual Encounters Between Men Paperback - 200 pages (August 1998) Alyson Pubns; ISBN: 1555834752 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Beneath its jovial, insouciant, sexy attitude, Jack Hart's Straight, a collection of frisky first-person tales in which straight-identified men end up having sex with other men, embodies a curious political and cultural collision. One of the mandates of the gay liberation movement, which emerged after the Stonewall riots of June, 1969, was that every gay person had the responsibility to "come out" and be openly gay. Yet postmodern theory informs us that the very categories of "gay" and "straight" may be, well, easily constructed identities that conceal far more complicated realities.."

	All Books by Joan Larkin - Editor of : A Woman Like That : Lesbian and Bisexual Writers tell Their Coming Out Paperback - 352 pages (November 2000) Harper Perennial; ISBN: 0380802473 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "The act of "coming out" has the power to transform every aspect of a woman's life: family, friendships, career, sexuality, spirituality. An essential element of self-realization, it is the unabashed acceptance of one's "outlaw" standing in a predominantly heterosexual world. These accounts -- sometimes heart-wrenching, often exhilarating -- encompass a wide breadth of backgrounds and experiences. From a teenager institutionalized for her passion for women to the mother who must come out to her young sons at the risk of losing them -- from the cautious academic to the raucous liberated femme -- each woman represented here tells of forging a unique path toward the difficult but emancipating recognition of herself. Extending from the 1940s to the present day, these intensely personal stories in turn reflect a unique history of the changing social mores that affected each woman's ability to determine the shape of her own life. Together they form an ornate tapestry of lesbian and bisexual experience in the United States over the past half-century.." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
