Download or read book The Velvet Rage written by Alan Downs and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2006-04-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gay male world today is characterized by seductive beauty, artful creativity, flamboyant sexuality, and, encouragingly, unprecedented acceptability in society. Yet despite the progress of the recent past, gay men still find themselves asking, "Are we really better off?" The inevitable byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, a shame gay men may strive to obscure with a fa?ade of beauty, creativity, or material success. Drawing on contemporary psychological research, the author's own journey to be free of anger and of shame, as well as the stories of many of his friends and clients, The Velvet Rage outlines the three distinct stages to emotional well-being for gay men. Offering profoundly beneficial strategies to stop the insidious cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behavior, The Velvet Rage is an empowering book that will influence the public discourse on gay culture, and positively change the lives of gay men who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love is always a beautiful thing when it’s shared, respected, and cherished. The moment it becomes any less than those three, your relationship and sanity are damned to hell. Don’t believe it? Just ask Paradise “Goody” Maverick. Once upon a time, she’d been the hopeless romantic type who thought she’d fall in love and stay that way forever, only to be painfully reminded that forever doesn’t always last. High school sweethearts and the only loves they’ve ever known, Goody and Kayson Miller have lived happily, chased dreams, and established a life together. The house, the cars, the success, and anything else Goody could name, they’d grinded and gotten it together. She had just gotten to the peak of her happiness when life decided to come around and knock her down. What happens when love is no longer enough? What do you do when you’re betrayed and left by your best friend? Who’s to blame when you have nothing left to give, not even to yourself? The idea of second chances seems utterly detestable, so when Jerrico shows up looking, smelling, and acting like a knight in shining armor, what’s a girl to do? Do you suck it up and move on, or do you harbor rage and bitterness? Ask Goody, she knows. The heart of the heartless, hollowed and emptied by that thing called love. Fed up and against anything that involves a man and her emotions, she’s prepared to kiss Jerrico goodbye, or so she thinks... welcome to the life of a SAVAGE. Men, remember, anything you can do... women can do better. Heads up, Queens, this one is for us!

What secrets are they each keeping? And when she uncovers dark lies told by dregs and Supergenics alike, does she dare start another war to reveal the truth?
