In this groundbreaking book, playwright and social critic Sarah Schulman explores the family - the first place where all people: straight, gay, and bisexual, learn homophobia. It is within the family that homophobia begins to control the lives of perpetrators and recipients. Written in the tradition of Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape (Ballantine Books, 2000), which transformed rape from a private problem into an internationally recognised cultural crisis.

Reviews for Ties That Bind: Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences

Ties that Bind should be required reading for every family. --Ellen Bass, author of The Courage to Heal Daring, radical, and compelling. --Rigoberto Gonzales, National Book Critics Circle Visionary, deeply humane. --Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home [Schulman] starkly lays out the fundamental immorality of such shunning behavior and its destructive consequences for everyone involved. This is an important and original book. --Martin Duberman, award-winning historian and gay rights activist
