Finally, the first big book of manners for the more than 15
million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in
the United States and Canada and the people who love them,
work with them, and live with them. Written by Steven
Petrow, the go-to authority on the subject—he’s the same-sex
wedding expert at The New York Times and a columnist for The
Huffington Post, Yahoo’s Shine, GayWeddings.com, and the “Q”
Syndicate (with distribution to more than 100 LGBT
newspapers and websites)—this is the definitive book of LGBT
etiquette. Encyclopedic in its approach, filled with practical wisdom,
lively wit, and much insight, Steven Petrow’s Complete Gay &
Lesbian Manners covers everything: from coming out to being
out in the workplace; from dealing with the joy and
complexity of same-sex weddings and commitment ceremonies
(including how to propose and write meaningful vows) to
handling the legal paperwork every couple needs. There’s a
chapter on sex etiquette, and another on the challenges and
opportunities of raising a family, plus sections on travel,
bullying, entertaining, meeting new friends, introducing
your partner to your family, a primer on gay pride, and so
much more. Throughout there are hundreds of questions—some posed by
LGBT folk, and others by straight people: What do the
mothers of two brides wear to a lesbian wedding? What do you
say to an anti-gay joke? How do you answer “Who’s the
father?” when there are two mothers? Manners, yes, but with a twist.
