The text is written for someone of at least fourteen years of age and answers more than two hundred questions covering four main areas of gay life: 1. Questions about being gay 2. Questions asked by family and friends 3. Questions asked about the gay community, giving definitions of some common terms 4.

The content of this book is drawn from the author’s professional training, his experiences, his own thoughts plus the thoughts of some of his colleagues, friends and the hundreds of teenagers and adults that he has encountered in his work.
