Straight Jacket

<p><strong>'This is an essential read for every gay person on the planet' - Elton John</strong><br /><strong>'A</strong><strong> really brilliant and moving read for everybody, especially LGBTQI+ people' - Olly Alexander, star of <em>It's A Sin</em></strong><br /><br /><strong><em>Straight Jacket</em></strong> is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. Part memoir, part ground-breaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be - and if not, why not? <br /><br />Meticulously researched, courageous and life-affirming, <strong><em>Straight Jacket</em></strong> offers invaluable practical advice on how to overcome a range of difficult issues. It also recognizes that this is a watershed moment, a piercing wake-up-call-to-arms for the gay and wider community to acknowledge the importance of supporting all young people - and helping older people to transform their experience and finally get the lives they really want.<br /><br /><strong>WINNER BOYZ BEST LGBT BOOK 2017</strong><br /><strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI BOOK PRIZE 2017</strong><br /><br />'Insightful, inclusive, clever and engaging' - Jeremy Langmead<br />'Utterly brilliant' - <em>The Guardian</em></p>
