What If Someone I Know Is Gay? Paperback - 2007

by Eric Marcus

Originally published in 2000, this groundbreaking title that has candidly answered teens questions about sexuality is now updated and repackaged.


From the publisher

if you think your friend is a lesbian, can you ask her? how do people become gay? is it a sin? is it a choice? No question goes unanswered in this important book about being gay. All the basics -- and not-so-basics -- are covered in more than one hundred questions asked by real teens just like you. So the answers contain all the info you want to know. And just in case you feel like sharing, there's a new "parents only" chapter to clue them in too. Expert Eric Marcus has fully updated and revised this essential guide for today's readers. He candidly and clearly pushes aside the myths and misinformation about being gay and lesbian, answering all the questions that are on your mind.

First line

Boys and girls who grow up to have strong feelings of sexual attraction for people of the same gender are called "gay" or "homosexual."
