This Book Is Gay

The bestselling young adult non-fiction book on sexuality and gender

Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual. Transgender. Queer. Straight. Curious. This book is for everyone, regardless of gender or sexual preference. This book is for anyone who's ever dared to wonder. This book is for YOU.

There's a long-running joke that, after "coming out," a lesbian, gay guy, bisexual, or trans person should receive a membership card and instruction manual. THIS IS THAT INSTRUCTION MANUAL. You're welcome.

Inside you'll find the answers to all the questions you ever wanted to ask, with topics like:

• Stereotypes -- the facts and fiction
• Coming out as LGBT
• Where to meet people like you
• The ins and outs of gay sex
• Stereotypes -- the facts and fiction
• How to flirt
• And so much more

This candid, funny, and uncensored exploration of sexuality and what it's like to grow up LGBTQ also includes real stories from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, not to mention hilarious illustrations.

You will be entertained. You will be informed. But most importantly, you will know that however you identify (or don't) and whomever you love, you are exceptional. You matter. And so does this book.

This book is for:

• Anyone with questions
• Parents of gay kids and other LGBT youth
• Educators looking for advice about the LGBTQIA+ community
