HOUSTON, Aug. 22, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Being gay proved to be difficult for author Brandon Triche. His parents were devout Christians and many people around him were simply homophobic. Through the years, he learned how to deal with them and with the release of his new book Balance: The Life of a Gay Gymnast, where he reveals to readers his own views about society, homosexuality and his life.
This book takes a look back at Triche's life as a young adult, a time when he learned new things about life such as his long lasting homosexuality and the public's perception about his sexual orientation. The book reveals the author's thoughts about dealing with other people's homophobia, his strong faith in God and Jesus and what the future has for homosexuals like him. Triche reveals that to this day, his mother believes he became gay because he got molested by an older kid when he was six years old. This incident led him to become sexually confused and even afraid of revealing it to his devout Christian family. As a young adult, he went through such painful obstacles like being abandoned by his adoptive parents for being gay, struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and being a part of the sex-filled club night life of New York City. From the first page until the end, the text will immerse you deeply with its open honesty, social views and concerns.
