This abstract is from the cover of the book.
Ethnicity, culture, and sexual orientation are salient aspects of human identity. While diversity adds richness to the threads of our human tapestry, minorities often feel vulnerable with open disclosure and retreat from exposures they fear could leave them in jeopardy. This is especially so with the lesbian and gay community. Under the skilled editorship of Beverly Greene, ETHNIC AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY AMONG LESBIANS AND GAY MEN, the third volume in the Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Issues series, explores a broad range of culture-related topics specific to the experience of this population—and is courageously presented by an outstanding, diverse group of contributors. Along with empirical, clinical, and theoretical discussions, the inclusion of personal narrative offers poignant insight into additional complexities, pressures, and losses that lesbians and gay men must cope with in a world that often handles diversity with the closed fist of bigotry.
