Accepting Ourselves & Others:
A Journey into Recovery
from Addictive and Compulsive Behaviors
for Gays, Lesbians & Bisexuals
First published in 1989, Accepting Ourselves was the first book to address the problems and needs of substance abusers in the homosexual community. Now, the fully revised and expanded edition, Accepting Ourselves and Others, examines the issue of recovery as it affects the homosexual and bisexual communities, as well as their friends, family, and therapists.
Accepting Ourselves & Others Beginnings:
Lesbians Talk About
the First Time They Met Their Long-Term Partner
Lesbians describes the first time they met their long-term partner, detailing initial adventures that range from wild to mundane, from hilarious comedy-of-errors encounters to near-spiritual minglings of the soul.
The women who tell their stories in this collection point up several important life lessons: that first impressions are not necessarily accurate, that romance can often come quite unexpectedly, and that a beginning frequently marks the end of a long, long search.
Beginnings Death by Denial:
Studies of Suicide in Gay and Lesbian Teenagers
Compilation of various studies about the incidence of suicide by gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered teens. Includes the report that 30% of teen suicides are by g/l/b/t youth.
This representation, supported by the other studies included in the work, indicates a terrible suicide epidemic among g/l/b/t teens.
Overall, an excellent work that brings together obscure studies that might otherwise be hard to find.

Death by Denial 4 Steps to Financial Security for Lesbian and Gay Couples
Because gay and lesbian relationships do not have the same legal status as marriage, many aspects of financial planning do not apply to them. Although several recent guides do discuss those aspects, they mostly consider only the basics: cohabitation agreements, power of attorney, and living wills.
Lesbian and gay couples can achieve solid, long-term financial security, but they need to arm themselves with foresight, awareness, and facts. That is what this book is all about. Drawing on more than twenty years experience as a financial adviser to lesbian and gay couples, Harold L. Lustig has written the definitive financial guide for you and your partner.
