Sember, Brette McWhorter, . Gay & Lesbian Rights: A Guide for GLBT Singles, Couples and Families. Naperville, IL: Sphinx Pub., 2d ed.. (2006).
Targeting the layperson in need, this useful volume includes a wide variety of information helpful for the evolving circumstances of the GLBT person and family. In addition to treating the issues one would expect of such a handbook (e.g., parenting, insurance, and financial topics), specialized chapters discuss “Name and Gender Changes” and—a real sign of the times—“Ending a Domestic Partnership.” One appendix provides answers to the frequently asked questions about the rights and benefits granted in the eight states that today legally recognize same-sex relationships, while another compiles by subject a reasonably extensive list of resources available to the community. The author maintains a website—www.BretteSember.com—which lists others of her titles that may also be of interest to the GLBT reader, including The Complete Gay Divorce.
