Revue de presse

“Bravo-or brava-to coming-out positively pioneer Betty Berzon, for taking the time to update her classic 1979 handbook for the newly queer . . . hers ought to be among the first any questioning, closeted queer turns to, or is offered, whenever that closet door starts to open.

It scared me. It challenged me. It excited me. And it eventually made me feel good about myself.” -Michelangelo Signorile, author of Queer in America, Outing Yourself, and Life Outside
