Touted as a guide for adolescents the reviewer questions the motives of the authors. Isay offers information based on his 20 years of work as a psychologist and covers topics important for the adolescent who believes he may be gay as well as the man living a homosexual life. This writer questions one of his basic tenets, but overall believes this is a worthwhile book.

The writer discusses the implications of such a law.
