In today’s world, there are a lot of opinions and discussions surrounding gender and sexual identities. Whether these conversations are happening in workplaces, legislatures, social media platforms, communities, schools, churches, and more; many are taking place without the voices of those within the community. The Queer Allies Bible, cuts through all the noise and provides a much needed guide for how to be an effective affirming ally.

While traveling across the United States, author NV Gay engaged in dialogues with individuals who were seeking information about how to become an ally, but were confused with how to become one. Many individuals emphasized that they are accepting of LGBTQIA+ individuals and the community, but do not understand how to use their voice to be an ally. This book is meant to do exactly that; educate those who are allies or want to be allies; and support them with the tools they need in order to be inclusive, accepting, and affirming of the entire LGBTQIA+ community.

Emphasis is placed on three main pillars; learning and understanding, being respectful, and advocating. The author uses various techniques to educate readers on all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as provide personal narratives to help bring the material to life. As well, there are chapters diving into applying the techniques of allyship; such as conversation starters, responding to anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks, supporting the coming out process, religion and the LGBTQIA+ community, creating inclusive spaces, and more.

Using their knowledge, lived experiences, and conversations with various leaders; The Queer Allies Bible is truly an easy resource that will help anyone become an affirming ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
