I really enjoyed this book a lot. It talked about so many different things and I was learned even more about whom I am inside.
To sum up the book "Outing Yourself" the authorMichelangelo Signorile broke things down into different steps and how to handle the different ways of letting people know you are.
He has written a total of fourteen steps. The first three steps are about outing you to yourself. How can we expect others to accept us if we can't accept you? I feel this is very true because if you have self-loathing for which you are and think badly about whom you truly are inside you can't expect others to love and accept you. One-step to start acceptance. As you read and find out the facts you will be able to see you are a good person and that being gay is just whom you are inside.
