Synopsis

Gay Relationships is a comprehensive guide to creating healthy, loving relationships for gay men and lesbian women. Tina Tessina, Ph.D., provides unique insight into the special issues faced by same-sex couples and offers practical and sensitive advice that all gay men and women will find valuable, whether they are looking for a partner, are currently in the throes of a relationship, or are hurting from the end of a relationship and wondering how to make the next one better.

“For same-sex couples who have always had to mentally revise heterosexually oriented relationship material, finally here is a book addressed to you, and one worth waiting for. Tina Tessina has written a first-rate how-to manual.... This book is superbly simple, clearly and sensitively written.”—San Francisco Bay Guardian

“A valuable, helpful book filled with enlightening information.”—Seattle Gay News

About this title

From Library Journal:

Lesbians and gay men face unique challenges in forming and sustaining intimate personal relationships. The pervasive prejudice and hostility they confront and the lack of supportive familial, religious, and social systems pose problems that are radically different from those experienced by heterosexuals. Therapist Tessina offers a genuinely useful self-help guide intended to assist gay people in clarifying the issues and resolving their difficulties in a manner conducive to the creation and sustenance of satisfying personal relationships. Any library with similar titles for its heterosexual patrons should certainly make this one available to its gay public.
