"My brother wrote this book based on his own experiences and the experiences of hundreds of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students he counseled, talked to, and interviewed over the course of his 40-year teaching career.

The confusion he experienced during college, and the distress and intolerance he witnessed and heard about from students, lead him to realize that some college and university environments are simply not healthy places for LGBT young people to learn and grow and to sort out their own sexuality.

This book documents the problems LGBT students might encounter on campus, and provides advice on how LGBT students can select the best-fit college or university for them."

Did he change the world, like some did? Of course not. Or, did he teach us a new perspective, like Gandhi did? Probably not.
Why then was he such an interesting man? He was terrific! I was very lucky to meet him. He changed a family, a group of kids and their parents, a whole city; but most important, he changed himself.
