For more than three decades, clinical psychologist, Don Clark, has been speaking to the hearts and minds of gay people, their families, friends, teachers and helpers in the many editions of Loving Someone Gay. With compassion he has promoted communication across generations as well as revealing a path of understanding and reconciliation for parents, siblings, husbands and wives as well as among religious leaders, teachers, librarians, legislators, judges, and law enforcement agencies. Most important he has provided vital insight into the psychodynamics and sociology of individuals, the gay men and lesbians who have been and continue to be misunderstood and abused in societies around the world.

He has said: ''In this age of global misunderstanding in which we see old habits of prejudice and bigotry coming into question finally, the world cries out for communication and empathy. The time has come for any person who believes she or he is rational to offer a helping hand to a gay sister or brother, here or there, known or unknown. Previously unquestioned rules are changing. No person is free to dare to be exactly who she or he is until that person is willing to offer understanding, respect and affection to the gay person who yearns only for that same freedom.''

With this latest updated edition of his famous book, Dr. Clark shines a clear light into our future in the twenty-first century.

From the Author:

This is the book people read when they have some concern about their own gay identity, the one often given to parents and close friends when a lesbian or gay man "comes out" and the one professionals sometimes say has changed the way they do their work as teacher, judge, policeman or librarian. It is designed to confront the prejudice and bigotry that has distorted the truth of our quite natural sexual orientation.
