How To Be A Happy Lesbian is a must for newly out lesbians

I'm a late bloomer. I've been in and out of the closet for years, but when I say "out" I mean only a day or two! I've always jumped right back into the closet, and I've been sad, alone, and miserable romantically and sexually my entire life. A year ago I came out yet again, and I just happened to find a group on line for helping lesbians who were just coming out. I joined the group, and thought for sure that everyone there would be young women. I'm 57 years old, and I felt very out of place, but what I found is that there were many women in the group who were older...my age even. Anyway, what I found was an excellent group of women who were intelligent and caring. This book, "How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide" by Tracey Stevens and Cathy Wonder, was suggested reading. I bought myself a copy right away. I do not think that I would have stayed out of the closet for this whole year if it hadn't been for the group, and the coming out guide. It is written simply and straightforwardly. It answered every single question I had, and then some. I highly recommend this book. It talks about everything from coming out to people we love, to lesbian dating, to gaydar, to STDs to be careful of, to living in the world as a lesbian. There is a whole chapter introducing the reader to a long list of famous women who were/are lesbian. There is a chapter on the art of making lesbian love and romance, which is direct and to the point. Everything you need to know about coming out and fitting your new self into the world around you is in this book. It is a must read for newly out lesbians, and lesbians who've been out for some time. I give it 5 stars, 10 if I could. Excellent book!"

READER REVIEW:

What is needed for those (of us) coming out!

I especially appreciated how attention was given to the younger aged women/girls who are making this transition. Tracey really puts emphasis on the importance of getting an education to enable one to live the life they truly believe they were meant for, without having to depend on anyone else. That kind of positive support, in this day and age is invaluable. Though, I'm much older, I found the information to apply to me as well. Thanks!

READER REVIEW:

I am now an even Happier Lesbian...thanks to this book
I think this book is definitely a "bring yourself out of the closet book" When I decided to come out I was a little bewildered...not wanting to go to any support groups...not wanting everyone KNOWING I was a lesbian. I thought the lesbian's would think I was fake, because I had no idea of the how to be lesbian, let alone a happy one. I just knew I was attracted to women, always had been and had only just decided to do something about it. Enter this great book, "How to be a Happy Lesbian" and HELLO WORLD, I'm a Lesbian...I love women, and I'm proud to be out. This book is so easy to read, so frank, so honest so matter of fact, after reading it or bits of it that you zoom in to the parts that interest you the most, i.e. communication chapter, or symbols of lesbianism, you feel so free...so able to breathe and take on board your sexuality, to be proud of who you are. If you are in the closet, coming out, or fully out, this book is a MUST!!

READER REVIEW:

A must have book for women loving women!
The coming out process can be pretty scary and intimidating. When I was in search for information about being a lesbian I found this wonderful book rightly named "A coming out guide" to become a happy lesbian. Its title announces the world that is waiting for us inside the book and out: a path of hope, pride and acceptance. The authors take your hand and show you how being a lesbian is no shame or wrong. On the contrary, with a gentle tone and openly discussing the most pressing questions for any woman coming out, they rescued me from what I thought it was a deep obscure hole. I am very grateful to the authors for sharing their experience and helping me being a happy loving lesbian. I recommend the book not only to coming out women but to their families and friends. It is full of advice, tips and information. It even includes movie reviews. This is a must have book for women loving women--Excellent!

The radical Christian Reich—I mean right!

READER REVIEW:

Just finished reading the Coming Out Guide with my girl, well sort of since we are still half way around the world from each other. We just wanted to say Thanks Tracey and Kathy and we both enjoyed it. She's been out to her family for awhile now but I'm not, as of yet anyway. We both enjoyed reading it and had some great discussions over it online together.
Heather D. Los Angeles, CA

Chapter 7 Living in the primarily heterosexual USA

Our “civil rights” in the USA
Don’t laws protect us from discrimination?
Why aren’t we protected? We pay taxes too!
The privilege of being heterosexual
Heterosexism, a right of the majority?
Heterosexual, choice or not?

READER REVIEW:

This book is very well written. It is well organized and an easy read.

It is clear and concise and very informative. This is a MUST HAVE for any book collection. When I finally admitted I was a lesbian I was confused and had a million questions. This book answered them all. The extensive list of resources alone is worth the purchase price. I have a few chapters I am constantly referring back to. It is great to have all that knowledge at my fingertips. Stevens/Wunder have written the only coming out guide you will ever need. I recommend this book not only to lesbians but to their friends and family as well.

READER REVIEW:

Newbie with lots to learn
It never occurred to me that Happy and Lesbian could be in the same sentence. Through the support I have received and this book I now believe it is possible. This book is a whole relationship guide which is cool. Not many books take you from how to meet them to how to live with them. The history and terminology and everything included makes it a very helpful and well rounded book for everyone not just those coming out.
BC Newbie

Chapter 9 Lesbian fiction and film

Some of the top lesbian films

READER REVIEW:

A definite read if you love woman

Kia ora ~ This book has been a godsend. I am not one to read much but completed this book, cover to cover in two days. It was great to finally realize that the feelings I was having were completely normal and that I was not alone. It is an easy to read book that openly and honestly covers topics relating being a lesbian. The information on safe sex was important as it was something I had not considered and would have been far too embarrassed to ask. I live in New Zealand and have not been able to find anything as comprehensive as "How to Be a Happy Lesbian" here in my home country. The added bonus is that I am now part of a fantastic Support Group for Woman Coming Out and am able to share experiences with woman all over the world. This book is written for anyone who loves woman. I have passed it on to my girlfriend to read next. I also work as a Social Worker and would certainly recommend it to anyone struggling with their sexuality.
Rainbow Angel (New Zealand)

READER REVIEW:

Wonderful for anyone curious about why women love women!

This book not only is for women who are coming out of the closet, but it is also for anyone who wants a real perspective on Lesbians. The writers use real world examples and experiences to the reader and give a candid understanding of Lesbian life. This is an eye opening read for anyone with questions and I am glad it was there for me to pass onto others. Read it even if you're not a lesbian and you will find out what many already know...lesbians are people just like you.

READER REVIEW:

Bravo to authors Tracey Stevens and Cathy Wonder.
How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide is truly a worthwhile read for women of any age who are questioning or coming to terms with being lesbian or bisexual. Every aspect of life is covered...everything from how to know whether or not one is lesbian or bi, sex, safe sex, how to handle discrimination, how to choose a therapist if needed, dealing with issues of abuse, just living daily life, and much, much more. The chapter on communication was outstanding. This book is written with warmth, honesty and humor. I don't think any woman could read A Coming Out Guide and not feel a greater sense of respect and pride for herself.

The subjects covered and the information are good not only for those just coming out but for those who have been out for a while. And also helpful for friends and family that are caring and wanting to know what their loved one is facing and going through. Tracey Stevens has also set up a discussion group, Support For Lesbians Coming Out (SFLCO) that provides confidentiality, respect and support in a safe arena for hundreds of women coming out or just trying to determine where they fit in this sexual continuum. Kudos to Stevens and Wunder for work well done!
