Lesbian and Gay Families Speak Out (Book Review)

Reviews the book 'Lesbian and Gay Families Speak Out,' by Jane Drucker.

Family structures are changing, and a significant part of this change is dueto homosexual partners raising children. According to author and counseling psychologist Jane Drucker, Ph.D., herself a lesbian, between 6 and 14 million American children now live with a homosexual parent. Drucker asks the adults in 22 such families questions about topics such as child rearing, religion and whether or not parents should "come out." The result is not a scientific survey, but their answers may help other homosexual adults think through important family issues.
