While there were of course many generalized assumptions or observances about the gay community, for the most part this I book offered a very interesting and profound theory into the struggles of gay men that I came away from feeling so much more enlightened.
I have never in my life underlined, highlighted or written in the margins more in my life, then when reading this book. There was so much of myself I found in there, and so much for me to really think about and ingest. I do think this is an important book, and even if you do not identify with everything Downs has to offer, it's still worth the read. I found insight into my friends, my past relationships, and of course myself throughout the entire book.
Insightful and in depth, Downs has really put forth a powerful theory that is worth knowing and discussing. I think every gay man should read this book. Pedro Manuel Carvallo Ponce.
This is a great book for gay man that are looking for a meaningful change in their life. Kon Krawczyk. Thank you for filling the void of honest understanding of gay male experience. I will recommend this book to many of my friends, queer and straight alike. Umi Arenas. I loved this book!
Yes, there's a lot of generalizations and a lot of assumptions are made, but it still manages to feel extremely personal. I highly recommend. Alejandro J Neuman.
Its better if you discuss this book with your therapist. It will bring you great understanding of your gay closeted or not life and the relationship with yourself. Benoit Chambaron. A must for any person who wants to understand what it feels like to grow up as a gay man. Rodney Lui. Now I have as an audiobook! I loved this book beyond words! Angel Quintanilla.
Marco Martinez. Amazing journey, incredible empathetic litte stories, and talk from the Gear. A great book explaining how gay men struggle with shame throughout their lives. Alan demonstrates the three stages of coming to terms with shame and identity, and at the same time giving insights into changing and accepting our authentic self. All gay men struggle with feelings of shame growing up in a straight world, whether they realise it or not. I found the book helpful in addressing and understanding my own struggles.
Alan reads in a calm and comforting way so you never lose interest in what he has to say. An important book which I highly recommend. So happy to complete My first book ever!!! My shortcomings , how to deal people. In fact my first book audio that Experience ever I got through the introduction and two chapters until I fell into rage. The book is appropriately titled. My friend told me that the Velvet Rage was like his own autobiography. Upon listening to it myself I realized that I also feel the same way.
The Velvet Rage has some hard to swallow truths and a lot of insight. I would urge all gay or 'non straight' men to read or listen. Sam Wilson. I highly recommend that all gay men read this. Sign in to see the full collection. The most important issue in a gay man's life is not "coming out," but coming to terms with the invalidating past.
