Rezensionen

"I have worked with LGBTQIA people and their friends and family for nearly a decade, and I have never seen a resource that pays such meticulous and thorough attention to the many nuances of sexuality and gender identity. Ashley Mardell's The ABC's of LGBT+ serves as a powerful tool for those that might be questioning their own identity, as well as for those seeking a deeper knowledge of the many, varied identities that exist in relation to our attractions, desires, and personal understandings of self."
