WHO SHOULD READ YOU’VE BEEN BLOCKED?
"Unblocking and becoming an evolved, empowered gay adult requires unlocking and reprogramming the distorted thoughts; much of this thinking was erroneously learned in childhood. Gay men who choose to stay blocked and closeted create a collective impact; their choice perpetuates negativity about or toward gay men and homosexuality."
What is You’ve Been Blocked About?
You’ve Been Blocked is written for gay men and on behalf of gay men. You’ve Been Blocked is also geared toward gay male clients in therapy or recovery programs, as well as clinicians and therapists who treat them. The material covered in this book is beneficial for parents, family, friends, and other supporters of gay men.
For those outside the gay male community (GMC), specifically heterosexuals in the mainstream community, You’ve Been Blocked offers insight into experiences gay men are likely to endure. Perhaps the straight, mainstream world, as well as some gay men who aren’t necessarily (yet) fully aware or accepting, will gain a deeper understanding that we live in a straight society, which means gay men understandably have a very different experience
PARENTS
You’ve Been Blocked also provides detailed subject matter that applies to parents who may have (or come to learn they have) a gay male child of any age. The content discussed is also valuable for teachers or clergy/religious leaders, who will become more informed about gay boys’ developmental experiences and gay-affirmativeness. They too will encounter gay/LGBTQ+ students/members of their religious organizations.
BECOME MORE ENLIGHTENED
This book is for anyone who is interested in becoming further informed about the lives of gay boys and, later, gay men; this includes their development, their experience, their struggles and what makes gay men tick. You’ve Been Blocked pertains to gay men directly and indirectly; it addresses important topics and issues that call for additional discussion and explanation. This collection of knowledge may be relevant to gay men both personally, collectively, and interpersonally with respect to other members of the gay male community (GMC).
