In today’s world, there are a lot of opinions and discussions surrounding gender and sexual identity. Whether these conversations are happening in workplaces, legislatures, communities, schools, churches, or on social media, many are taking place without the voices of those most affected—namely members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Using the actual lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, The Queer Allies Bible provides a much-needed guide for how to be an effective and affirming LGBTQIA+ ally. Special emphasis is placed on three main pillars: learning and understanding; being respectful; and advocacy. Through these pillars, the book delves into activities and actions that allies can engage in, including conversation starters; responding to anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks; supporting the coming out process; religion; creating inclusive spaces, and more.

A necessary book in the present climate, The Queer Allies Bible is a multi-generational resource designed to educate people to be inclusive, accepting, and affirming LGBTQIA+ allies.

Chock full of information and histories for our allies

The strength of this book for those of us in the community is in the back half. At that point we get a mesmerizing narrative of the author’s journey as well as a photo project of trans people who talk about what being trans means to them. The first half is good, too. The information is sound. However, I felt that if someone is a soft ally or not an ally, they may feel too challenged and leave the book. It also is good for people who are questioning their wexuality or gender as there is a lot of information about non-binary sexualities and identities. I think the first half works best as queer experiences 101 reference guide, choosing sections that are most relevant to them and people in their lives.
