The first therapist I saw, a long time ago, was when I was first coming out. At our first meeting the 'assignment' he gave me was to read a lot of gay literature, fiction and non-fiction, anything/everything. I didn't care for the therapist much, but I did appreciate the advice. If/when we are feeling isolated and lacking a community, there is always literature and the written word to fill some of the space. If you read a great book, I'd like to hear about it.
