GAY RIGHTS ADVOCATE & AUTHOR "ON A MISSION"

This is a message I have sent out to over 50 sites on the Internet:

I am gay and live the difference, bringing my experiences to Memoir of Being Gay in America. I am an author on a mission to educate the world’s population about understanding and accepting people who are gay. My book, Living the Difference, is an important resource for young gay men or women living with fear, shame or self-loathing; or for anyone coming to terms with a friend or family member’s coming out, as well as their own coming out. I told my story not to shock, offend or convert anyone, but simply to lay out a road map for acceptance. The book lights a candle against the darkness of ignorance. Editorial reviews of my book call Living the Difference “a fascinating journey no gay author has been able to capture to date,” “conquering the final frontier of bigotry and prejudice,” and “filled with love, hate, joy, sorrow and much more.” A recent review said my book is “remarkably under-sensationalized,” praising my honest storytelling style that leaves the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. Living the Difference lifts the curtain on the so-called Gay Lifestyle, revealing a human portrait that resonates regardless of gender or sexual orientation. It’s a portrait of success, of meaning, and of hope.

Sincerely,
Joe (J.C.) Knudson, Father of two, Partner of 18 years, & Author of Living the Difference
