Description

"Beyond the Closet is in turns hilarious and moving. The acute observations on sexuality are revealing, nostalgic, funny... and very human.” Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus “Fantastic memoir about coming out and learning to live your best life!” Clare Lydon, best-selling author of Before You Say I Do The new millennium is just around the corner. Parents are desperate to get their hands on the must-have Furby for Christmas and IT departments are worrying about the Y2K bug. I have other concerns. One simple question on a night out with friends triggers some deep rooted feelings in me, sending me on a voyage of self-analysis and raising one big question – am I gay? As the realisation sets in, I have to navigate the stormy waters of coming out to those nearest and dearest to me as well as complete strangers. I have to learn what life is like for a non-scene gay man in the Noughties. Less than six months after I split from my girlfriend of seven years, I begin my journey beyond the closet as I fall in love, face my fears and narrowly avoid the police getting involved in coming out to one particular family member. Everyone has their own story and I’m no one special, but this is my unique tale of the challenges I’ve faced on my journey of self-acceptance. This book is my commentary on life as a newly gay man in the UK in the year 2000 and the highs and lows that have gone with it. Coming out is never easy.
