The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs Book Summary

This groundbreaking and empowering book examines the impact of growing up and surviving as a gay man in a society still learning to accept all identities.

In The Velvet Rage, psychologist Alan Downs draws on his own struggle with shame and anger, contemporary research, and stories from his patients to passionately describe the stages of a gay man's journey out of shame and offers practical and inspired strategies to stop the cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behavior. The Velvet Rage is an empowering book that has already changed the public discourse on gay culture and helped shape the identity of an entire generation of gay men.

Amazing book. Highly recommended this book to everyone

Life Changing. This book has completely completely my life!! ā¤ļøEvery Gay man needs to read this literature

Turning point worthy. Thank you for sharing a set of skills to help us find fulfillment and contentment. Let this life-long journey begin.

Life changing. Itā€™s like the author spoke from within, knew me since I was born. I cried from page 2. Itā€™s a very healing experience, canā€™t recommend it enough to bring some light on our velvet chaos.

Good read. Insightful shadow work

Terrible. Got almost halfway through it and couldnā€™t finish it. This book is awful and repetitive.

A book every gay man should read!. This was an insightful, and revealing look into blind spots I didnā€™t recognize I had that has influenced my life and decisions for the better part of my life. There is so much validation Iā€™ve been seeking from the outside for most of my life that I didnā€™t understand was related to feelings of being flawed stemming from my first memories of how Iā€™m supposed to show up and be in life. I think every gay man should read this to gain some insight into learning to be your most authentic self.

Wrong Age Bracket. The Velvet Rage is quite clearly aimed at Boomer and GenX-ers, and wealthy priviledged ones, at that. As a gay man of the Millennial generation, I found it very difficult to relate to the ideas in this book. May be the second edition, but I donā€™t feel even this revised version has dated particularly well. Millennial and GenZ gay/queer men have a very different background and coming out journey I feel.
