Overview

What Color is Your Scarf? depicts life in the 'gay lane' as experienced by a forty-something man discovering himself rather late in life. This entertaining odyssey provides humor, insight, and encouragement to those who have either gone through the process of identity discovery or who may be at the beginning of their extraordinary journey. Though not unique, the universality of the author's experiences offer the reader with little or no exposure to this subject the opportunity to gain an understanding of what gay friends, colleagues, and family members endured on the road to self-discovery.

Editorials

Amy Coffin

What Color Is Your Scarf? is a versatile educational tool. An eye-opening lesson for the homosexuality-challenged, examined in an educational manner from which others can draw guidance. Brown's book is helpful for navigating one's uncharted self-identity territory.

Book Review Cafe

4 Stars! An interesting view into one man's journey through life struggling with his sexual indentity. [The book] may help someone else who is 'coming out'. Read this with an open mind.

C. L. Frey

What Color Is Your Scarf? isn't so much autobiography as it is a way of helping others who have found themselves in a similar predicament. It also makes a suitable information tool for heterosexual family members and friends who are trying to support their loved ones as they embark on a more honest existence.

Cindy Penn

Fascinating! Highly recommended. For those just entering the gay community, or for those who simply seek understanding, books like "What Color Is Your Scarf?" prove invaluable. Brown's candid account of his coming out and subsequent exploration of the gay community is extraordinarily enlightening. Men exploring their sexuality and seeking an entry to an otherwise wildly confusing landscape will welcome [the book] for its pragmatic, humorous, irreverant approach to homosexuality.

What Color Is Your Scarf? is a quick insightful read that is quite informative, humorous and entertaining whether you are interested in self-help and trying to discover who you are, or have been comfortable with yourself for years. I think you will find this an inspiring book no matter what color your own scarf is.

Timothy D. Storey

This book is a thought-provoking read. Anyone who has experienced love will learn that we all go through the same things. For a gay man, particularly one new to gay life, this is the most important thing that the book could share...it demonstrates that we are all in this together, even when we feel like we are all alone.
