timisaverage 's review for:
It was interesting to see a book of this type specifically from perspective of a Gay man, for the Gay audience. There are some criticisms, firstly is that he often gives examples of high power executives, famous artists, antique collectors. For some Gay men the best they can hope for is the store manager of the local fast food or retail store - that's basically CEO! So its' a little privileged, and feels quite white.
Secondly, his use of the word 'disabled' to describe the effect of the emotional states in the book is perhaps a bit ableist. A false equivalency.
While he admits the limitations of the book in the outset, for example this is for Gay men rather than Gay women/ lesbians, it would be good in future editions to expand on that.
Aside from those two major points I found the book very helpful, personally, and I'll be reflecting on it for some time to come. I think quite a must-read for all Gay men.
