How does the standard of living of gay men and lesbians compare with that of heterosexuals? Do homosexuals make financial and family decisions differently? Why are the professional lives of gay men and lesbians dissimilar from those of heterosexuals? Or do they even differ? Have gay people benefited from the recent economic boom? Or have public policies denied them their fair share? Money, Myths, and Change provides new answers to these complex questions. This is the first comprehensive work to explore the economic lives of gays and lesbians in the United States. M. V. Lee Badgett weaves through and debunks common stereotypes about gay privilege, income, and consumer behavior. Studying the ends and means of gay life from an economic perspective, she disproves the assumption that gay men and lesbians are more affluent than heterosexuals, that they inspire discrimination when they come out of the closet, that they consume more conspicuously, that they enjoy a more self-indulgent, even hedonistic lifestyle. Badgett gets to the heart of these misconceptions through an analysis of the crucial issues that affect the livelihood of gay men and lesbians: discrimination in the workplace, denial of health care benefits to domestic partners and children, lack of access to legal institutions such as marriage, the corporate wooing of gay consumer dollars, and the use of gay economic clout to inspire social and political change. Both timely and readable, Money, Myths, and Change stands as a much-needed corrective to the assumptions that inhibit gay economic equality. It is a definitive work that sheds new light on just what it means to be gay or lesbian in the United States.

In turn-of-the-century New Orleans, beautiful and virginal Abigail Du Pre has just been given to the mysterious Dr. Lucien Trier, sent to be his servant in exchange for her father's onerous gambling debts. The Doctor has plans for her, intending to train her to be his lover and sexual slave, roles for which Abigail is unusually well-suited. But something happens during her training. Through her own submission to the Doctor's perverse desires, Abigail discovers a strength and sexuality within herself equal to any man's, and the Doctor finds himself helplessly in love with this sensual and passionate woman. Set amidst the magnificent wealth and jaded sensuality of 1897 New Orleans, Overcoming Abigail is the story of the transcendent passions and transforming love that exist at the very edge of human sexuality.
