Dead Boys Can't Dance
Dorais and Lajeunesse analyse the adverse ways being stigmatized as homosexual affects personality and behaviour, discerning four types of reaction: the 'perfect boy,' whose perfectionism and asexuality are an attempt to minimize the difference between how he is perceived and what he is supposed to be; the 'chameleon,' who attempts to keep everyone from suspecting his secret but constantly feels like an impostor; the 'token fag,' who serves as a scapegoat to his peers, especially at school, and suffers a consequent rejection and lack of self-esteem; and the 'rebel,' who actively rejects any stigma based on his sexual orientation and non-conformity. They show that those who are heterosexual but suspected of being homosexual are most at risk of suicide and make recommendations for suicide prevention.

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Weird Canada
The Great White North is revealed as the Great Weird North in this entertaining tome from the best-selling Bathroom Reader series. Did you know that Canada was almost called Hochelaga? That’s just one of thousands of wacky facts awaiting readers in Uncle John’s quirky celebration of Earth’s second largest country. You’ll find page after page of bizarre history (like why the beaver was once classified as a fish), plus head-scratching news items (like the crook who returned to the Tim Hortons he’d just robbed to tip the workers), odd places to go (like Mr. Spock’s birthplace in a town called Vulcan), and crazy eats (like the restaurant that makes you eat in complete darkness).

LGBT Youth Issues Today
The increasing numbers of LGBT teenagers who choose to live their lives as "out" youth face unique issues within their schools, families, and communities. This book provides information that will help LGBT youth overcome their challenges and give non-LGBT youth a better understanding of sexual identities different from their own. While all youth are likely to face traumatic or stressful situations in their transition to adulthood, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered (LGBT) youth face significant and specific challenges in their lives—a result of living in a society that has yet to accept or be comfortable with the idea of same-sex or other "non-heterosexual" attraction, especially amo...

Superstimuli
This groundbreaking book delves into the impact of superstimulus — technological products and behaviors that amplify our natural instincts and desires — on modern society. From social media's effects on mental health to online shopping's disruption of traditional commerce, the rise of superstimuli is driving cultural change and potentially harming overall well-being. Drawing upon scientific research and real-world examples, this book offers a thoughtful examination of the implications of technological superstimuli for both individuals and society at large.
Wanderlust
There is an entire generation whose brains are permanently shaped by unrealistic standards of beauty, fostering unwanted sexual conditioning that governs their intimate behaviours. Lust - not love - is rendering millions unprepared for relationships, marriage, and parenthood in an unmonitored, hypersexual virtual world. But what if freedom from these unhealthy social mores meant unlearning what you've already learned? For more than two decades, Stephen Peter Anderson experienced how his unrealistic and unattainable ideas of beauty unknowingly shaped his sexual conditioning. His odyssey is more than a struggle with overcoming a distorted representation of sex - it is a fight for reclamation. Wanderlust is not just an intensely personal story but a journey of self-discovery in relearning how to attain the glory and beauty of love that God intended. In this #MeToo era there could hardly be a more prescient and timely publication to recalibrate what it means to be a human and to love - a vital proclamation that needs to be heard.
