À propos de cet audio

The most important issue in a gay man’s life is not “coming out”, but coming to terms with the invalidating past. Despite the progress made in recent years, many gay men still wonder, “Are we better off?” The byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, rejection, and anger - a toxic cocktail that can lead to drug abuse, promiscuity, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

Drawing on contemporary psychological research, the author’s own journey, and the stories of many of his friends and clients, Velvet Rage addresses the myth of gay pride and outlines three stages to emotional well-being for gay men. The revised and expanded edition covers issues related to gay marriage, a broader range of examples that extend beyond middle-class gay men in America, and expansion of the original discussion on living authentically as a gay man.

For years I struggled to fill a void that I felt deep inside, & nothing I did seem to satisfy or fill that void. As I listened to The Velvet Rage it seemed like the author was describing my own life. by the end of the book I had a clear understanding of my personal struggles & how to move my life forward positively to fill that void.

A positive life changing read for myself.

A book to help me make peace with myself and my community by understanding the source of frustrations we’re dealing with as gay men in a world that doesn’t make us feel validated.

Wonderful book that provides insight into how social pressures from early childhood follow gay men throughout their lives and stunt their emotional growth. I found the book incredibly informative and the tools provided by the author to move into a true sense of self-knowing to be very helpful. This should be a must-listen/must-read for any gay man. It will help you understand yourself so much better, and get in touch with your authentic self.

Extraordinarily helpful for gay men
