The Velvet Rage

Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man's World

Alan Downs

Explore the impact of growing up gay in a straight world with a focus on coming to terms with the past. The author, drawing on his own journey and contemporary psychological research, reveals the toxic cocktail of shame, rejection, and anger that gay men can internalize, leading to negative outcomes like drug abuse, promiscuity, and depression. Velvet Rage details a path to emotional well-being for gay men and debunks the myth of gay pride.

@KyleKriegerHair The Velvet Rage is such an important book.      fuente
Ostensibly about if you grow up a gay man, how to deal with it in the world. But I think it’s more about modern masculinity and about what it means to be a man in America.      fuente
