'Gay' is neither a serene nor settled identity in the lives of countless persons who manifest it. With unfailing regard for them as persons, the author integrates strands from history, psychology, and philosophy in narrating the roots and rise of gay identity. Neither political nor polemical, this narrative proceeds along the path of reasoned inquiry in discerning that emotional burdens and risky sexual behaviors give shape to gay. Anchored in an esteem for persons as such, the story arrives at an outcome that promotes understanding, lifts the weight of a burdensome identity, and diminishes the divide within society over homosexuality.
