- A couple of really good books that I have recently found on the subject:
-
- Intimacy Between Men, by John H. Driggs, MSW; Stephen E. Finn, PhD.
- Plume 1992
-
- This one is by a straight man and a gay man and contains useful ideas
- and thoughts on relationships in general as well as on the special needs
- and problems that gay men take to a relationship due to their growing up
- male and gay. It makes for quick reading and is not meant to be any sort
- of bible. The authors don't make themselves out to "have all the answers"
- the way some writers seem to do. Anyway, it's a good book for anyone,
- straight or gay, who wants to learn more about themselves and their
- relationship. It's a good guide on where to look within ourselves.
-
- A Legal Guide for Lesbian and Gay Couples, by attorneys Hayden Curry and
- Denis CLifford. Nolo Press Self-Help Law 1991
-
- The name says it all. So do the chapter names:
-
- Lesbian and Gay Couples and the Law
- Gay and Together:Do You Really Need a Contract?
- Contracts
- Living Together and the World: Practical Matters
- Buying a Home
- Marriage, Children, and Divorce
- So You Want to Become a Parent?
