More about the book

For LGBTQ youth, finding a community of supportive and affirming friends and allies can make all the difference as they navigate a difficult school and home environment. But it can be challenging to know where to start in finding that community. This book helps to make the process easier by: Breaking down what LGBTQ means and how to figure out where in that acronym your identity fits. Giving practical resources for finding community both in your local area and online. Showing the options and opportunities available within the diverse LGBTQ community. Addressing the concerns of those who are afraid they may feel left out of the community. Giving hope for a personal community that can change and evolve with you as you move through life. No matter your sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, or personal interests, there is a niche for you within the LGBTQ community, and a support network of countless LGBTQ people who understand how you feel. The purpose of this book is to help you either find that community while still in school, or if you're not able or ready to do that right now, see the community that is there waiting for you until you are ready.
