Together

P. Gayle

Patric Gayle's Together provides a comprehensive and well-rounded guide to healthy living and wellbeing. Written in a straightforward and unpatronising manner, the book acknowledges that gay men face just as many problems and obstacles as straight people and so offers a wealth of good advice on topics such as diet and nutrition, debt problems (thereby dismissing the myth of the pink pound and every gay man having more money than they know what to do with), drugs and employment. The book also offers sound advice on gay specific issues such as coming out, finding a partner and enjoying safe sex. The tone at times can seem patronising but Gayle takes the approach that not every gay man is as clued-up about the issues as they should be - especially the younger generation hitting the scene for the first time - so he presents everything in a readable way.
