Description
As South Africa grew into democracy, so too did the author grow into wholeness and authenticity.
The challenges she met in the 60s are still those faced by gay people today… how to tell their folks, when to ‘confess’ to their friends, what to tell their employers, and more.
Should you be lucky enough to have a friend, a child, a brother, an aunt or a colleague who is gay the book answers many questions you might never dare ask.
And if you are already out and perfectly happy, then you may find that this is ‘your’ story. And you’ll have a good laugh remembering all the pitfalls and pratfalls you experienced along the way.
Although the book is set in South Africa, under the rule of an apartheid government, the coming out process poses the same hurdles, obstacles and crises no matter where you live. It's simply a case of ‘same circus, different tent’ and in spite of all the available reading it’s no easier coming out today than it was last century.
A comment often made by people coming to terms with being gay is that they feel isolated, as if they are the only gay person in the world. The distortion of the past and denial of homosexuality feeds this social and personal isolation. Without a 'history' gay people are denied a sense of self, a sense of worth and often feel they have no voice. This book puts matters to rights, with bells on.
