Much More Than Sexuality is a book of autobiographical stories told by 70 gay men and lesbians during in-depth interviews. They are stories about human lives and spirit, about love and joy, about sadness, grief, and fear, about children, family, partners, friends, sexuality, homosexuality, and sometimes about AIDS. Although sexual orientation is clearly an influence, it does not define the whole of people's lives. Underlying each story is a complex, multi-faceted human being.This is a book for people of all ages and sexual orientations. It is written for young people struggling with their own fear of a gay identity, who are looking for positive role models among people similar to themselves, for heterosexual adults and young people who want to understand the real people behind the myths and stereotypes of homosexuality, and for the families, friends, and colleagues of gay people.
