Steven Petrow’s best seller The Essential Book of Gay Manners and Etiquette (HarperCollins, 1995) remains the most complete and authoritative guide to coming out, the rules of courtship, planning a same-sex commitment ceremony, bringing baby on board, confronting homophobia, saying good-bye to a dying friend, and much more.

Coming soon: The Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners: LGBT advice for dating, sex, coming out, marriage and all the rest (Workman). According to Petrow, “The new book combines the authority and scope of Emily Post with the wit and humor of Miss Manners. It’s for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender people (and those who aren't quite sure), as well as straight folks. This is a more fluid, inclusive book to match our more fluid, inclusive times.” Petrow is widely sought after by the media as a manners expert and writes regularly for a number of national publications, including the Huffington Post, the Daily Beast, Salon, Out.com, and The Advocate.

On this page, you’ll find articles written by Petrow as well as broadcast and print interviews about his work.
