Purchase options and add-ons

This guide is obviously written from the heart. The tone is gentle and supportive, a big sister encouraging other lesbians to love and accept themselves and live a full life, free of fear and shame. This is a much-needed book, one the authors wish had been available when they were younger and needed advice on how to "make it" in a predominantly homophobic world. It's not preachy, clinical, or cynical. It's readable, humorous, and, most important, kind. Plus, it's chock full of useful information and resources.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WHERE ARE MY RAINBOW POM-POMS????
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2006
    Right after I came out, I read how to be a happy lez. I walked into a gay book store in down town Long beach called Equal Writes.........I told the man standing at the counter that I had just come out and needed to learn how to be a lesbian.........he reccommended this book and a few others.......

    Shortly after reading this book I had my first date with a woman @hamberger mary's in Newport Beach.......On our date I kept prattling away about how wonderful this book is..........she said "god Mel......sounds like your trying to be "the perfect lesbian", where are your rainbow pom pom's?"

    I think when anyone is trying to adapt to a new culture and traffic within a new people group that they need a guide to teach them proper protocal......... I must admit I still have many questions.......I probably will until the day I die..........

    What this book helped me to learn was that it's ok to be a gay woman.........its ok to love other women........I am not a pervert that should be locked in a shack in the desert and left to die........

    My coming out process started years ago when I became a "fruit fly" (women who is friends with gay men but does not want to sleep with them) and started frequenting gay clubs.........when I came out to my male friends........they helped me as much as they could..........but one thing I have learned from reading this book........gay men and lesbian women come from two different countries.........We have different clubs......customs..........culture.........and languages..........a gay man can not be a lesbians tour guide through lesbian territory...........so whats a girl to do who does not know anyone it town??? How is she to meet people and find the lesbian watering hole?????

    If you think you might be a lesbian........if you are a gay man and think your fag hag or fruit fly might be a lesbian..........BUY A COPY OF THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!! Count all of the quarters trapped between your sofa cushon and buy this book!!!!!!!! Buy a pizza or chineese take out next week...........but BUY THE BOOK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This truly is a guide that will answer many of the questions you may have.........and atleast it will give you a good vocabulary and knowledge base to begin further research...........

    5.0 out of 5 stars How To Be A Happy Lesbian is a must for newly out lesbians
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2008
    I'm a late bloomer. I've been in and out of the closet for years, but when I say "out" I mean only a day or two! I've always jumped right back into the closet, and I've been sad, alone, and miserable romantically and sexually my entire life. A year ago I came out yet again, and I just happened to find a group on line for helping lesbians who were just coming out. I joined the group, and thought for sure that everyone there would be young women. I'm 57 years old, and I felt very out of place, but what I found is that there were many women in the group who were older...my age even.

    Anyway, what I found was an excellent group of women who were intelligent and caring. This book, "How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide" by Tracey Stevens and Kathy Wunder, was suggested reading. I bought myself a copy right away. I do not think that I would have stayed out of the closet for this whole year if it hadn't been for the group, and the coming out guide. It is written simply and straightforwardly. It answered every single question I had, and then some. I highly recommend this book. It talks about everything from coming out to people we love, to lesbian dating, to gaydar, to std's to be careful of, to living in the world as a lesbian. There is a whole chapter introducing the reader to a long list of famous women who were/are lesbian. There is a chapter on the art of making lesbian love and romance, which is direct and to the point. Everything you need to know about coming out and fitting your new self into the world around you is in this book. It is a must read for newly out lesbians, and lesbians who've been out for some time. I give it 5 stars, 10 if I could. Excellent book!

    "How to Be a Happy Lesbian" does two things better than other books I have read concerning lesbian sex. The first is an excellent chapter talking about safer sex, complete with a long list and descriptions of STD's and other issues affecting lesbians. This is a more complete list than I have seen in my other purchases. The second item I found very helpful was a chapter on therapy and therapists. I had no prior experience with therapy and needed background on the process. The information contained here gave me starting points for more research, and I have since found a therapist who fits my needs as a latebloomer very well.

    I was looking forward to reading this book because I don't have any lesbian friends and coming out as bisexual has been very difficult. The book disappointed me right away giving dated, obvious, and uncaring information. If you need to know that rainbows are gay symbols then you might find the book useful, but I read the whole thing waiting for some deeper information that never came. I was even insulted when the author said if you try to find others online then you could be "so socially backward that they (you) cannot make friends in a normal way." The resource links at the back are so old now that they don't even work. The whole book was superficial and hasn't given me any tools for future happiness. I don't even know where to start to become a happy bisexual with friends in the GLBTQ community. I guess I'll have to figure it out alone. I would suggest "Free Your Mind" as a youth coming out book. It's dated too, but at least that book is uplifting.

    Although written by two lovely American ladies, still very good and just the nook that I needed, only wish that British lesbians could do a book.
