House and Home. Steve Gunderson and Rob Morris. New York: Dutton/Penguin Books. 1996. ISBN 0-525-94197-5.
This is the story of a traditional mid-western Republican congressman from a middle-class family. He represented a rural Wisconsin district in the House of Representatives from 1981 to 1996. He is a fiscal conservative, a moderate on social issues, and a devout, churchgoing Lutheran. He has worked closely with Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole. The only thing that might be considered unusual about Congressman Steve Gunderson is that he is openly, unapologetically gay. Written with his partner, Rob Morris, this is the story of his growing up gay, his refusal for many years to accept his sexuality, and his reluctance to publicly acknowledge it until well into a successful political career. It chronicles both the pain and the liberation of coming out, of opting for wholeness and integrity.

In Search of Gay America: Women and Men in a Time of Change. Neil Miller. New York: The Atlantic Monthly Press. 1989. ISBN 0-87113-304-0.
Reporter Neil Miller spent a year and a half traveling through small towns, rural areas, midsize cities, suburbs and large urban centers in search of what it meant - and what it was like - to be gay in the America of the late 1980's. He explored the themes that make up the lives of most gay people - roots, relationships and sexuality, family and parenthood, work, religion, politics, the impact of AIDS - in a variety of geographic, social and cultural settings. By recording the stories of a wide range of people in differing parts of the country, he offers a modest glimpse into the lives of some gay men and women twenty years after the beginning of the gay liberation movement and shares the astonishing richness of their individual lives.

Stranger at the Gate. Mel White. New York: Simon & Schuster. 1994. ISBN 0-452-27381-1.
Mel White was born into a conservative Christian home and educated in conservative Christian schools. There he met his wife and together they raised their children to believe in God and follow a Christian lifestyle. He worked within the church as a seminary professor, pastor, filmmaker and writer, and eventually became a ghostwriter of books, autobiographies and speeches for many noted figures of the religious right. But all that time Mel had a secret. He was gay. This book, an eloquent and moving personal story of his long, difficult struggle to deny and overcome his sexual desires, also courageously and forthrightly tells the truth about the campaign of hatred and fear being waged against homosexuals by the religious right, as he experienced it.

Accepting Ourselves and Others: A Journey into Recovery from Addictive and Compulsive Behaviors for Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals. Sheppard B. Kominars and Kathryn D. Kominars. Center City, Minnesota: Hazelden Books. 1996.
In the United States at least one person in ten suffers from some form of dependency or addictive/compulsive behavior. But in the gay/lesbian community this ratio leaps to one in three! This book helps to meet the tremendous need for insightful and current information that will speed their recovery process. Because recovery from any form of addiction is different for them, special attention and sensitivity is required in the approach used to treat them.
