Recensioner i media

Inspiring quotes and personal stories from young LGBTQ+ people tell teens what they need to know about coming out in this informative book in the Empowering You series. It suggests ways and tactics for coming out, offers tips on handling negativity and self-esteem issues, and provides scenarios for some responses queer youth might receive when talking to family and friends. The text gives advice on being outed and being bullied, building a network of friends and support groups, going on first dates, introducing queer friends to family, and being intimate (safe sex, STIs, consent, and breakups). . . . The straightforward and understandable advice is especially candid in the section on safe sex, and the comprehensive resources include religious-based LGBTQIA+ supports, statistics, notes, and helpful tips in text boxes. The self-acceptance message shines through in this useful book.
