Sharing how he made the transformation himself, Don Clark, Ph.D., the first officially openly gay psychologist in the U.S. and "father of gay-oriented psychotherapy," points the way for others to claim an identity and sense of pride and follow him on the path to happiness, meaning, love and success.

His writing includes fiction, textbooks, and articles for both professional journals and popular magazines.
Children of Gay Couples
For the first time, a collection of testimonials gives voice to the children of lesbian couples. Sixteen of them answer the questions many people ask: does living without a father pose a problem? Do children of gay couples necessarily become gay or lesbian? Do their families share the same values as others? The interviewees were aged between eleven and thirty-one. They were conceived either by insemination or during previous relationships. Today, they are students, police officers or producers. They have agreed to confide in us their joys, their worries, their troubles, their hopes and the way “others” look at them. Kolia Hiffler-Wittkowsky, the 21-year-old who initiated the project and compiled the testimonials, is studying philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure in Lyon. She herself was conceived within a lesbo-parental framework.
Not in This Family
Many Americans hold fast to the notion that gay men and women, more often than not, have been ostracized from disapproving families. Not in This Family challenges this myth and shows how kinship ties were an animating force in gay culture, politics, and consciousness throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. Historian Heather Murray gives voice to gays and their parents through an extensive use of introspective writings, particularly personal correspondence and diaries, as well as through published memoirs, fiction, poetry, song lyrics, movies, and visual and print media. Starting in the late 1940s and 1950s, Not in This Family covers the entire postwar period, including the gay l...

French Gay Modernism

Departing from earlier, more muted presentations, André Gide, Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, René Crevel, Francis Carco, and a host of less-famous writers, all created overtly gay characters are gave them increasingly numerous and significant roles. Far from being simply shunned or marginalized, a number of these works were instead accepted as canonical.

Schehr explains how earlier repr...
