Love Makes a Family: Friends, Family, and Significant Others

This book explores the wonderful possibilities for LGBTQ relationships that include friendships between people of all kinds, dating for sex, seeking a romantic relationship, falling in love, getting married, and having kids. It includes practical tips for LGBTQ teens to help them navigate the world of potential relationships, build self-esteem, and deal with dysfunctional relationships. Embracing the diversity of LGBTQ teens, this book offers recommendations about how to find one's own unique expression. The investigation of all kinds of relationships and lifepaths includes being single, monogamous (dedicating yourself to only one partner), as well as being in open relationships, polyamorous relationships, and more. Sexual and nonsexual relationships are discussed along with romance and marriage. Explore real-life examples of happy singles, LGBTQ couples, and LGBTQ families with children. Like all close families, these families derive their strength from the love they share.
