<p><b>''This is an essential read for every gay person on the planet'' - Elton John</b><br><b>''A</b><b> really brilliant and moving read for everybody, especially LGBTQI+ people'' - Olly Alexander, star of <i>It''s A Sin</i></b><br><br><b><i>Straight Jacket</i></b> is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. Part memoir, part ground-breaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be - and if not, why not? <br><br>Meticulously researched, courageous and life-affirming, <b><i>Straight Jacket</i></b> offers invaluable practical advice on how to overcome a range of difficult issues. It also recognizes that this is a watershed moment, a piercing wake-up-call-to-arms for the gay and wider community to acknowledge the importance of supporting all young people - and helping older people to transform their experience and finally get the lives they really want.<
