"A personal, hope-inspiring and graphic true story"
Queer Journey embraces the personal challenges that gay teenagers and gay men deal with in their lives. It captivates readers as his words take you from childhood to his adulthood. In his candid language and personal case history, Dr. Alexis Rodriguez writes how he disguised his own sexuality with childhood depression, low self-esteem and self-destructive behavior. In this “say all” autobiography, he writes about growing up gay and the issues he dealt with as a gay man. He describes the dilemma of his closeted heterosexual marriage and his affairs with men. As his sexuality continued to evolve and surface, so did his self-destructive behavior. Alcohol, drugs and prostitution ultimately led him to reach rock bottom. His words are inspirational and touching to those that are in similar circumstances. Rodriguez writes about becoming a survivor.
