In a Queer Voice cover

In-depth interviews show us how LGBTQ youth survive adolescence, thrive as adults, and find a voice that is uniquely their own

"An important contribution to the argument for a more nurturing environment for young GLBT people." Publishers Weekly "In this thoughtful study, Sadowski profiles six young people whom he interviewed in their adolescence and then revisited several years later to see how they transitioned from their early isolated... insular silence regarding their gender or sexuality to their 'queer voices' of strength, optimism, and defiance... An intellectual complement to the 'It Gets Better' project, this works as both a moving human document and a springboard for discussion and research in human sexuality, psychology, sociology, and linguistics." Library Journal, December 2012 "[A] valuable call to action...In a Queer Voice effectively elevates the professional discourse on LGBTQ youth."--Chronogram, March 1st 2013 "Truly well written, interesting, and above all, important... In a Queer Voice is easy to read and interesting. It is well suited for the classroom and would be valuable in any Gender Studies, Men and Masculinities Studies or Women's Studies class... The book follows recent research on the topic very well and extends on previous knowledge with its well thought out and informative interviews."--Metapsychology Online, August 2013
