'Recorded here are the innermost thoughts and emotions of a unique community of men who are engaged in acts of discovery, self-invention, and the responsibilities of catastrophic loss. As each of these men illustrates with anecdotes from his own childhood, many gay men feel anessential difference from other boys at a very early age. That sense of otherness was the beginning of a lifelong quest that led to roles as teachers, writers, healers, and visionaries. In almost every case, the experiencde of being gay has forged a closer union with the divine within. This is the meaning of gay soul.'
