Put this date on your calendar and make a personal pledge to come out to at least one other person on October 11th. For those (like me) who are already so far out of the closet that they no longer recognize the shape of a hanger, pledge to write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, or call your local talk radio show host, or take some other step to make lgbt visibility just a little bit more obvious.

Crisis: 40 Stories Revealing the Personal, Social, and Religious Pain and Trauma of Growing Up Gay in America
by
Gold, Mitchell,
Drucker, Mindy
A mental health crisis faces American teens right now--and it is one we can solve. Hundreds of thousands of gay teens face traumatic depression, fear, rejection, persecution, and isolation--usually alone. Studies show they are 190 percent more likely to used drugs or alcohol and four times more likely to attempt suicide. Homophobia and discrimination are at the heart of their pain. Love, support, and acceptance--all within our power to give--can save them. This book is for: clergy, parents, educators, and politicians who cause harm with their words and actions; parents of gay teens; teens navigating this difficult time; and fair-minded people who want to help end the harm. Here are revealing stories by forty diverse Americans, some well known and some not, plus insights from straight clergy and parents explaining their support of gay people as whole human beings guaranteed equal rights by our Constitution. |

Out of the Pocket
by
Konigsberg, Bill
Out of the Pocket tells the fictional coming out story of Bobby Framingham, a 17-year-old star quarterback living in Orange County, CA. Bobby knows he's different from his teammates. They're like brothers, but they don't know that Bobby is gay. After he's outed by a student reporter, Bobby must find a way to earn back his teammates' trust.
The School Library Journal praises the book, calling it a “thought-provoking, funny, and ultimately uplifting story of self-actualization that masterfully defies stereotypes about both coming out and team sports.” Additionally, Out of the Pocket has received the accolade of inclusion in the Fall 2008 “Indie Next List” by the American Booksellers Association.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Bill Konigsberg is an award-winning sports journalist who currently writes for the Associated Press. He has covered the New York Yankees and Mets, and his weekly fantasy baseball column has appeared in newspapers across the country. In May 2001, while working as an assistant editor at ESPN.com, he came out on the front page of the website in an article entitled “Sports World Still a Struggle for Gays.” That article won him a GLAAD Media Award. Since then, he has spoken at venues across the country about what it is like to be one of the few openly gay people in sports media. |
