It's not always easy being a young LGBT+ person in Britain--I should know. I am one. From homophobic and transphobic bullying to feeling like you have to hide your identity, racial discrimination in LGBT+ spaces to unsupportive families, and many, many issues in-between, this short story collection aims to give you a little support and advice on living in an often unsupportive world. Need resources like websites and hotlines to find information and help? Want to read short stories packed with LGBT+ representation and the real problems we face? Just want to feel a little less alone? Look no further than Everything Under the Rainbow (or at Least as Much as I Could Fit Into This Book)!This short story collection includes twenty fictional tales of LGBT+ young people, their friends and their families, as they try to get through lives which aren't always easy. Each short story focuses on a key issue or situation, such as being afraid to hold hands with your partner in public or getting deadnamed at school. Content warnings before each story make sure that this is a safe, non-triggering reading experience for those of you who may be sensitive to particular issues. Advice sections follow each short story, with statistics from UK sources of LGBT+ information, some personal support and advice and both website and hotline resources which you can use. Above all, Everything Under the Rainbow is a message of support for the young LGBT+ community in Britain: you are not alone, you are heard and you are important.
