The Velvet Rage Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man's World

This groundbreaking and empowering book examines the impact of growing up and surviving as a gay man in a society still learning to accept all identities.In The Velvet Rage, psychologist Alan Downs draws on his own struggle with shame and anger, contemporary research, and stories from his patients to passionately describe the stages of a gay man's journey out of shame and offers practical and inspired strategies to stop the cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behavior. The Velvet Rage is an empowering book that has already changed the public discourse on gay culture and helped shape the identity of an entire generation of gay men.
