According to Faith in America's Mitchell Gold, there are well over a million teenagers who are having a slow motion nervous breakdown.
"They feel incredibly isolated,"says Gold. "They live in extraordinary fear that they will lose the people they love most or get the crap kicked out of them if anyone finds out their secret. Why me? they ask themselves. They get this sinking feeling whenever they realize that they are attracted intimately to someone of the same sex. Maybe you know exactly what I'm talking about."
For the past 10 months Gold worked on a book that will be a clarion call to people to let them know the horrible harm that they might be causing. That has happened and is happening to gay kids when they realize they are gay.
The groundbreaking new book, "Crisis: 44 Stories Revealing The Personal, Social, And Religious Pain And Trauma Of Growing Up Gay In America," is a must-read book for everyone. I just ordered a copy and hope you will too.
"See? Gays have harder lives! That's why nobody should be gay!"
(Basically the more harmful, adult version of "why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yoursef?")

This book I feel will expose alot of truths of blantant&soft peddled homophobia as well how some family and friends react when one comes out of the closet. Also for some who have been out of the closet and still are not accepted. I recall having a discussion with my family members of just how much harder it is for me to date and find a suitable same sex partner and thier simple answer to me was (Go Straight !). So thats it ,going straight will solve all my problems? NOT!
