CRISIS: 40 STORIES REVEALING THE PERSONAL, SOCIAL, AND RELIGIOUS PAIN AND TRAUMA OF GROWING UP GAY IN AMERICA - Mitchell Gold

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE CALLED AN ABOMINATION BY YOUR RELIGIOUS LEADERS?

TO LIVE IN FEAR OF LOSING YOUR FAMILY’S LOVE?

TO BE AFRAID TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE TORMENT THAT AWAITS YOU? 



TO LIE TO EVERYONE ABOUT WHOM YOU LOVE?

Mitchell Gold asked forty gay Americans to share their very personal answers to these difficult questions. Many discuss their long-buried feelings here for the first time. Several young adults open up about the depression, fear, and isolation that are still a part of growing up gay in many areas of the country today. Gold calls this a silent epidemic and mental health crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of gay teens. And he emphasizes that this crisis can be solved, with compassion and fair-mindedness— and by getting those whose words and deeds cause harm to stop.
