Straight Jacket by Matthew Todd

Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. 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? 

Matthew Todd explores why statistics show a large number of gay people suffer from mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and why significant numbers experience difficulty in sustaining meaningful relationships.

Bracingly honest, and drawing on his own experience, he breaks the silence surrounding a number of painful issues.

Meet Matthew as he discusses his book on Tuesday 5th July 19:00 at Manchester - Deansgate
