Queer Blues »

Despite social and political gains, most gays and lesbians still experience discrimination, and many continue to struggle with guilt and negative messages from others. One effect is an increase of depression in members of the gay and lesbian community. Queer Blues explains the many forms of depression and explores its unique impact on lesbians and gay men. A self-test helps readers determine their level of depression and assess its impact on their lives. The book shows how to gauge the relationship between mood and self-esteem and identifies self-sabotaging habits.
