Double Challenge: Being Lgbtq and a Minority

This book celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ community. Whether you are Asian, black, Hispanic, white, disabled, or any other religious or ethnic identity, there is a place for everyone to be queer and be themselves. Double Challenge: Being LGBTQ and a Minority provides answers that LGBTQ teens need, putting to bed myths and stereotypes about what it means to be queer or questioning. Inside, you'll find advice for LGBTQ young people of color on unique challenges they may face when coming out to their families and responding to homophobia in their respective communities. Society is more accepting than ever of LGBTQ individuals; however, legal equality remains elusive. This book recognizes the achievement, while remaining honest about the challenges that remain.
