When it was first published in 2003, GLBTQ quickly became the indispensable resource for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning teens. This fully revised and updated edition retains all of the straightforward information and practical advice of the original edition while providing a contemporary look at society and its growing acceptance of people who are GLBTQ. Included are updates on efforts to promote equality, including the current status of legislative initiatives concerning safe schools, gay marriage, workplace equality, transgender expression, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Issues-based information and advice address coming out, prejudice, getting support, staying safe, making healthy choices, and thriving in school. This frank, sensitive book is written for young people who are beginning to question their sexual or gender identity, those who are ready to work for GLBTQ rights, and those who may need advice, guidance, or reassurance that they are not alone.

July 1, 2011
Gr 7 Up-Although this new edition uses the same basic format and employs most of the text of the 2003 title (Free Spirit), it is still one of the best guides available for queer teens and their allies. In the same 11 chapters, Huegel unflinchingly and clearly explains what young adults, parents, and educators want and need to know. There is also a good, expanded chapter on transgender issues and another about life after high school. The book is enhanced by interesting sidebar facts and "been there" quotes from young people, with one quibble about the latter: many of the quotes remain the same but the names have been changed, apparently to modernize the text. The book also includes an updated glossary and list of resources, comprised of both books and organizations. An excellent choice for libraries of all types.-Betty S.
