I wanted to re-post this here, the guy asked me to (nathan):

My name is Vladimir Shahidjanjan. I am journalist and psychlogist, professor of psychology in Moscow State University, Russia.
I study the problems of homosexuality. I am an author of number of books on the sex and its problems. Now I am writing the book, titled 'ME+ME', that is about the issues of same-gender love. A book on historical aspects of homosexualism. Book on psychology of the same-sex relationships. About homosexuals in Russia. Homosexualism and art. Homosexualism and a problem of "I" formation in society. Why lots of people don't take and don't understand homosexuals. Difficulty of life of the person with another orientation. There are lots of problems.
It'll be a first book of this kind in Russia. Volume of the book will exceed a thousand pages of typescript. I urge you and beg you to help me on my work. I am interested in related journals, books and newspapers. I am also interested in self stories of gays. Stories about meeting and connected problems. Problem of first contact. To tell or not to tell parents? Reports about well known persons who where gays. So, I'm interested in everything. In humour, too.
I would like to hear the words of advice on the contents of this book. Which themes are important and actual nowadays? What would you like this book to be like. Any relevant information is greatly appreciated. I've collected a big material, but it rendered not enough for a book. Opinions of physicians, problems of bisexuals.. Reasoning of adult who passed a difficult way of juvenile homosexualism. Would be interesting to get messages from those who wanted to throw away his sexual fascination and... managed to, but is still interested in this problem. Or from those who tried to throw it away but wasn't able. I'll try to reply on each letter. If someone arrives to Moscow, I'm ready to meet and speak and tell a lot.
I want to help other people. I want the book to be useful. Mistakes must not be repeated. Life is beautiful, agree, doesn't matter what's the person's orientation. Do you agree with me? Good luck and joy for all. I want everybody to be happier. Less conflicts. More faithful and understanding friends.
