Description

Scared Straight
by Robert N. Minor. read by Luke Carignan.
Why it’s so hard to accept gay people and why it’s so hard to be human

Scared Straight: Why It’s So Hard to Accept Gay People and Why It’s So Hard to Be Human. A cultural critique of growing up in the USA, including such topics as our universities as purveyors of hopelessness and the dynamics of “getting laid” taught in high school, which emphasizes that taking on the “straight” role is damaging to all human beings regardless of sexual orientation. This role is taught to us from the moment of birth through all of the institutions of our society and the major methods by which it is installed are fear-based.

4.8 out of 5 stars on amazon “…a breath of fresh air …The only reader who won’t benefit … is the one determined in advance not to.”(Professor L. William Countryman, author of Dirt, Greed and Sex on book back cover)

Thus it sets up gender roles for men and women and oppressor and victim roles for heterosexuals and non-heterosexuals. The final chapter “How to Be Human” is on how to heal the hurts all human beings suffer from the methods by which we are conditioned to live these roles. Each chapter includes recommended further readings.
