On the Meaning of Friendship Between Gay Men (Routledge, 2008) moves beyond sexuality and explores the importance of friendship, providing insights into a range of dimensions, including Mentorship, Spirituality, Survival, and Partnership. While other texts approach this subject more from an academic bent, I offer readers of all types an accessible, intimate, easy-to-read, compilation of seventeen essays, written by some of our leading gay authors, who discuss diverse perspectives on what I term “a family of choice.”

Interventions with Families of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender People: From the Inside Out
(Routledge, 2006) Editors: Jerry J. Bigner, Ph.D. and Andrew R. Gottlieb, Ph.D.

Though much literature is devoted to treating GLBT individuals, relatively little has focused on working with their family members. This text presents ten, first hand, in-depth personal and professional accounts by educators, researchers, administrators, and practitioners, discussing various ways of helping families of GLBT people. It is useful as a classroom text and as a reference guide for all mental health professionals.

Side by Side: On Having a Gay or Lesbian Sibling
(Routledge, 2005) is an anthology of stories I edited exploring the effects of coming out on the brothers and sisters of gay men and lesbian women. In plain language, accessible
to most adolescents and adults, the contributors candidly
relate the experience of what it was like to find out about their sibling's homosexuality and how that knowledge affected them over time. Some of their perspectives will surprise you; many
will move you.
