Produktbeschreibung

Jo DeLuzio sits on the subway on her way to work and contemplates how she's managed to survive the closet.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Jo came out much later in life, and her experiences inform much of the ideas in this unique volume of writing. One part memoir, one part social discussion, and every part honest, Jo's voice is uniqueand her experiences inform much of the conversations she has about coming out.

In fact, coming out is only the beginning. Once out, Jo explores the many different ways members of her community may have a slow, sometimes painful journey to their authentic life. With honesty, humor, and deep insights, Surviving the Closet is essential reading.
