"Hours of painstaking research have often been needed to locate
references to cover the whole (lesbian, gay and bisexual) life
span. Thanks to these editors, we now have a 'one-stop' resource.
One of the books strongest chapters is by Connie Chan, whose
transcultural understanding of sexual orientation invites
reflection on one's own cultural biases." -- A Journal of Reviews

discussed, but also for presenting most of what is known about
sexual minority identity development in a single volume." -- The
