How Homophobia Hurts Children Nurturing Diversity at Home, at School, and in the Community

This book illustrates the ways that children growing up to be gay are harmed by homophobia before anyone, including themselves, even knows they are gay. Compelling & sympathetic, it describes ways that these children can be helped to understand that they can grow up to lead normal lives, with hopes & dreams for their futures. Lost Dreams: Gay Children & Homophobia brings home the voices of these children. They describe their experiences to show how they came to the frightening recognition that they are part of a group held in disregard by the rest of society, even sometimes by their own families.Baker, Jean M. is the author of 'How Homophobia Hurts Children Nurturing Diversity at Home, at School, and in the Community', published 2001 under ISBN 9781560231646 and ISBN 1560231645.
