Book Overview: The 2000 census-the first to count gay and lesbian couples in the United States-showed 594,743 admitted gay couples, likely a significant underestimate since not all gay couples were willing to be so identified. Despite increasing acceptance of homosexuality in America, homophobia and discrimination are still pervasive; coming out is not the panacea it is often assumed to be.
