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

Stereotypes -- the facts and fictionComing out as LGBTWhere to meet people like youThe ins and outs of gay sexStereotypes -- the facts and fictionHow to flirtAnd 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.
