What should you know about gender identity? These are some of the questions that are answered in "The ABCs of LGBT+", a book written by Ashley Mardell, a beloved blogger and YouTube star. Many LGBT books have been written, but "The ABCs of LGBT+" is the LGBT book that is essential reading for questioning teens, teachers or parents looking for advice, or anyone who wants to learn the language of respect.The 21st Century has seen very positive movement for LGBT+ rights. In the last few years the overturning of DOMA, the SCOTUS ruling in favor of the Marriage Equality Act, American transgender politicians elected to office, and landmark moments such as Apple becoming the most valuable company in the world under the leadership of an openly gay CEO have advanced LGBT awareness and understanding. In a world full of questions, Mardell’s “ABC’s of LGBT+” has the answers. We are living in a post-binary world where gender fluency and awareness of gender identity and a real understanding of our LGBT family is essential. Ashley Mardell, one of the most trusted voices on YouTube, presents a detailed look at all things LGBT+. Along with in-depth definitions, personal anecdotes, helpful infographics, resources, and more, Mardell’s book is proof it does get better every day in a world where people are empowered by information and understanding. In Mardell’s own words, "This book is also for allies and LGBT+ people simply looking to pack in some extra knowledge… a critical part of acceptance. Learning about new identities broadens our understanding of humanity, heightens our empathy, and allows us different, valuable perspectives.” - from Amzon
