What is it that makes us straight or gay?
Is it environment or genetics?
Choice, chance or maybe even persuasion?

The answer to this age-old question is one that fledgling writer Margaret Allen sets out to discover as she endeavors to complete her first book. Taking on a subject she believes she knows well, she begins a very human odyssey, examining the lives of gay women, all of whom come from diverse backgrounds and mindsets.

Among those whom we meet are -

the florist, whose parents try to cure her of her homosexuality;
the twins who, separated at birth, live their lives at opposite ends of the economic spectrum; the radiant redhead and her three failed marriages;
the poet who spent most of her young adult years as a nun; the Kentucky woman who, as a new bride, makes a rather shocking discovery;
and the non-verbal, wheelchair-bound woman, who is a political activist with an extraordinary ability to communicate.

As we share in their deeply personal narratives, Margaret’s book ultimately raises the question: Are relationships between two women really all that different than heterosexual ones?

Outside the Lavender Closet brings to life a collection of contemporary stories inspired by actual women and true events.
