Overview

When it was first published in 2003, GLBTQ quickly became the indispensable resource for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning teens. This fully revised and updated edition retains all of the straightforward information and practical advice of the original edition while providing a contemporary look at society and its growing acceptance of people who are GLBTQ. Included are updates on efforts to promote equality, including the current status of legislative initiatives concerning safe schools, gay marriage, workplace equality, transgender expression, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Issues-based information and advice address coming out, prejudice, getting support, staying safe, making healthy choices, and thriving in school. This frank, sensitive book is written for young people who are beginning to question their sexual or gender identity, those who are ready to work for GLBTQ rights, and those who may need advice, guidance, or reassurance that they are not alone.

    Uplifting and Helpful

    This book is aimed primarily at teenagers (perhaps 11-18) who are LGBTQ. Many topics are covered, and the language of the book is very supportive and uplifting -- like talking with a fantastic queer mentor. Some aspects of the book are simple, but these are the things that LGBTQ young people (like myself) need to hear and often don't. With LGBT topics left out of health classes and typical "Talks" with parents, even simple ideas need to be expressed, and this book gets those too. This isn't necessarily a comprehensive resource, but it truly does hit many topics -- some I didn't even consider! It's amazing how many questions come up when you find out your LGBTQ, and even years later there are some still unanswered or unaddressed. Overall, this book is a fantastic resource for anyone reading this review wondering if they are LGBTQ or for a parent or anyone else to give to any young person (even straight!).
