The overwhelming success of Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" YouTube project aimed at LGBT teens highlighted that in spite of progress made in gay rights, LGBT people are still at high risk for being victimized. While the focus has been on anti-gay mistreatment in schools, the reality is that most LGBT families face hostility in various settings--professional, recreational, and social. This is especially evident in rural communities, where the majority of gay families live, isolated from support networks more commonly found in urban spaces. Family Pride by psychologist and social worker Michael Shelton is the first book for gay parents that emphasizes community safety.
