Named one of the Best Gay Books of 2003, this collection of short, inspirational articles by the author of the acclaimed Scared Straight, applies Dr. Minor's insights to the issues of life today. It challenges gay people and heterosexual allies to see how not being or acting straight is a healthy approach to life. Gay people are fine but societal perspectives, attitudes, and solutions prevent everyone from living fully, stifle their ability to relate to themselves and others as human beings, and keep society stuck using the same old failing political, social and religious answers to life's challenges. Admiring the values of the sickness around them may help LGBT people fit in but will not contribute to personal or societal healing. They must not bury, but value, their own language, definitions, answers and insights into the variety of problems around them that hurt everyone but which society prefers to act out against LGBT people.
