The answer to this age-old question is one that fledgling writer Margaret Allen sets out to discover as she endeavors to complete her first book.

What is it that makes us straight or gay? Is it environment or genetics? Choice, chance or maybe even persuasion? The answer to this age-old question is one that fledgling writer Margaret Allen sets out to discover as she endeavors to complete her first book. Taking on a subject she believes she knows well, she begins a very human odyssey, examining the lives of gay women, all of whom come from diverse backgrounds and mindsets. Among those whom we meet are ¿ the florist, whose parents try to ¿cure¿ her of her homosexuality; the twins who, separated at birth, live their lives at opposite ends of the economic spectrum; the radiant redhead and her three failed marriages; the poet who spent most of her young adult years as a nun; the Kentucky woman who, as a new bride, makes a rather shocking discovery; and the non-verbal, wheelchair-bound woman, who is a political activist with an extraordinary ability to communicate. As we share in their deeply personal narratives, Margaret¿s book ultimately raises the question: ¿Are relationships between two women really all that different than heterosexual ones?¿ Outside the Lavender Closet brings to life a collection of contemporary stories inspired by actual women and true events.
