Purchase options and add-ons

In this moving guide, a gay man shares his personal journey of letting go of shame and moving forward with self-compassion and healing.

"A touchstone in gay culture." ―Observer

"The clearest, most succinct delineation of the origins and consequences of internalized homophobia, and how to address them." ―Artvoice

Even though an entire generation of men have openly and freely come out of the closet, gay men still struggle with self-acceptance. Sexually transmitted diseases, depression, and suicide occur more frequently for gay men than straight men. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Through brave individual stories and compassionate analysis, The Velvet Rage explores how shame is insidious, and can be traced back to childhood feelings of “otherness”. Drawing on contemporary psychological research, Alan Downs offers a path to emotional well-being and an end to self-defeating behavior.

Velvet Rage is an empowering book you'll wish you read long ago. It’s not too late to begin the healing process.
