Holding the Man by Tim Conigrave
It was the mid-seventies – and satin baggies and chunky platforms reigned supreme. At an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave fell wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football team. So began a relationship that was to last for 15 years, a love affair that weathered disapproval, separation and, ultimately death. Holding the Man recreates that relationship. With honesty and insight it explores the highs and lows of any partnership: the intimacy, constraints, temptations. And the strength of heart both men had to find when they tested positive to HIV. This is a book as refreshing and uplifting as it is moving; a funny and sad and celebratory account of growing up gay.

Coming Up from the Down Low: The Journey to Acceptance, Healing, and Honest Love by J.L. King
J. L. King lived on the down low for years before he wrote “On the Down Low,” the controversial account of the secret subculture of men leading straight lives while secretly sleeping with other men. In “Coming Up from the Down Low,” King provides more in-depth information about the men who live this way and dispels the most common myths. But more than that, King tells of his own transformation as he’s moved into a more honest evaluation of his own life and the lives of other men like him. Filled with fascinating stories from men who have lived on the down low and the women who have struggled through it with them, “Coming Up from the Down Low” calls for greater love and forgiveness in our individual lives and within our communities.
