Is My Husband Gay, Straight, or Bi? addresses a topic that many people may have experience with, but don't know where to go to find the answers. At a time when the definition of marriage is changing, and relationships in general may be fraught with uncertainty about a variety of basic issues, a book that addresses the concerns of women who suspect their men are gay or have gay tendencies can help make sense of a confusing situation and reveal ways in which couples can understand a man's interest in gay sex and remain married, even happily.
