Homosexuality Reframed: Growth Beyond Gay

HOMOSEXUALITY REFRAMED: GROWTH BEYOND GAY

Is it true that gays are born that way and cannot change? Having grown up gay and redirected his life, Tom knows it is not. His story defines clearly and convincingly how others can chart their new course as well.

Written from personal, academic, secular, and spiritual perspectives, this book is a message of hope. It describes ways in which those homosexuals who wish to do so can realize a new way of being, moving way beyond gay. It clarifies how a homosexual identity can evolve and the real motive behind the sexual desires. It provides a rationale for heterosexuals and homosexuals to work together to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

After years working with many homosexuals as a clinical psychologist, together with extensive research, the author believes that homosexuality has been greatly misunderstood. Both the homophobia of heterosexuals and the pro-gay agenda of homosexual activists are counterproductive and harmful to gays. While there are many supports now for gays living a gay lifestyle, there is too little information or help for those who wish to live their lives differently. This book goes far to fill that void.
