LGBTQ

“This sensitive, frank, and supportive volume belongs in every library.” * School Library Journal Starred Review *
“Sensible, realistic recommendations for appreciating and exploring sexual and gender identity.” * VOYA *
“Vitally important.”
 “LGBTQ is a book for EVERYONE, whether queer or hetero, to learn how to be a true advocate for yourself and the rainbow community under the umbrella of the social justice movement. This is the book I wish my pansexual self had as a teenager to refer back to regularly and know I was not (and am not) alone. Consider this your queer encyclopedia, a conduit to navigating a sometimes still hateful and judgy world, with a soft pillow of loving advice to cushion the blow. There is a newer, preferable language in the gay community that includes everyone—this book will help you be sensitive toward others as you find yourself. Love is indeed love, but this book will take you far beyond love with a strong education of your legal rights and cultural history.” -- Chloé Jo Davis, founder and editor of GirlieGirlArmy.com, conscious living expert, and activist
“Astoundingly comprehensive and wise, LGBTQ by Kelly Huegel Madrone is filled with clear information and practical suggestions to help young people safely explore their gender and sexual identity. I wish my library had this book when I was a teen!” -- Irwin Krieger, author of Helping Your Transgender Teen and Counseling Transgender and Non-Binary Youth
“At a time when so many people claim we live in a ‘post-homophobia’ era, this book is ever more important as a working resource to navigate the very real persistence of anti-queer sentiment. Enormously accessible and chock-full of substantive information, Madrone provides a healthy and helpful guide for young people navigating the churning waters of their own sexuality in a world still insistently heteronormative.” -- Suzanna Danuta Walters, professor of sociology and director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University and author of The Tolerance Trap: How God, Genes, and Good Intentions Are Sabotaging Gay Rights
