Packed to the hilt with living narratives, scholarly research, and
problem-solution scenarios, Queer Kids: The Challenges and Promise
for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youth examines the unique challenges
faced by today s homosexual young adults. You ll learn what
modern-day queer kids do to cope, survive, and find understanding
in a world riddled with homophobic intolerance. Queer Kids is a
lens of clarity that will help the average straight adult--and
maybe even the average gay adult--see things from a kid s point of
view. Its detail-oriented, well-wrought chapters will provide you
with literally hundreds of stories of young people who are trying
to define themselves sexually and emotionally in a society of
criss-crossing judgment, stereotyping, anger, and expectation.
Aimed at three target groups--counselors, parents, and youth--this
book introduces you to a variety of interesting kids, offers you a
look at the process of coming out, and helps you grasp the
experience of queer identification. Specifically, you ll read
about: queer kids and their families and peers the medical/health
care profession s impact on queer kids the teachers and counselors
of gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth how to alleviate harrassment,
abuse, withdrawal, and loneliness the effects of familial denial,
prejudiced counselors, and standoffish gay adultsBeing a kid is
tough--but being a queer kid can be even tougher. Fortunately,
Queer Kids is available for students, ministers, teachers, youth-
and health-care workers, and especially the friends and families of
teens who are working through the personal turbulence that too
often accompanies sexual and emotional definition. Guided by its
upfront approach and practical resource list of written, computer,
and telephone aids, you ll see that a solution is not as distant as
you think. Read it, and relearn what it means to be a kid again.
