Crisis

The Trevor Project encourages you to pick up a copy of the new book, CRISIS: 40 Stories Revealing the Personal, Social, and Religious Pain and Trauma of Growing Up Gay in America, to learn the answers to these questions through the personal, touching stories of 40 gay Americans.

Edited by Mitchell Gold with Mindy Drucker, Crisis discusses the depression, fear, and isolation that are still a part of growing up gay in many areas of the country today. The book emphasizes that this crisis can be solved, with compassion and fair-mindedness, and by getting those whose words and deeds cause harm to stop.

The Trevor Project’s executive director, Charles Robbins, wrote the “Crisis Family” introduction section of the book. His story is joined by those of other prominent professionals working in the LGBTQ community. All of the book’s contributors reveal what made them feel alone and unloved— and at times so hopeless suicide seemed the only option. They also suggest ways to help the next generation of young people. These stories are also lessons in perseverance and achievement, showing the inner strength of the contributors and inspiring us all with their triumphs against the odds.

Crisis will be published this September.
