We request that those whish to attend RSVP by registering through the Eventbrite link, or by calling the bookshop on 0207 278 7654 Part memoir, part groundbreaking polemic, this is a revolutionary guide for the gay and LGBT community on how to build happy, secure lives and relationships, and a call-to-arms for society to protect and nurture young people, regardless of their sexual orientation. Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. It looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be and if not, why not? Matthew Todd explores why statistics show a large number of gay people suffer from mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and why significant numbers experience difficulty in sustaining meaningful relationships. Bracingly honest, and drawing on his own experience, he breaks the silence surrounding a number of painful issues.
