**Completely updated in December/2016.** Where are all of the healthy gay role models? Are there healthy gay relationships out there? Can a single gay male find a mate who is emotionally available? Gay men are entitled to have good, healthy friendships and good, healthy relationships.
Gay men have often been perceived as "damaged goods" and therefore often act out in self-abusive ways by choosing inappropriate or unavailable men to date or befriend.

There is a need for all of us to take responsibility for what we bring to the relationship, and be totally conscious of what the other man also brings to the relationship.
This book addresses the struggle that gay men have to just find safety in home, employment and relationships. It also focuses on the different needs gay men have, as individuals and as a group. So this book is about working at being conscious; conscious of our own behavior and needs, and conscious of other's behavior and needs. It is also about conscious in our relationships.
There are also poignant thoughts and quotes from gay men in successful relationships given to those who might benefit by their wisdom and experience. There are also many suggestions from gay men, who were surveyed, as to how to seek out a healthy date or potential partner.
