MY REVIEW

This book is rather like a brilliant Bible. It goes through all the questions that may spin around in ones head, for those who are LGBTQ+.

I highly recommend this book, through the contents of this non-fiction book, Questioning, The T in LBG, Coming Out, Families and Friends, It Must Be Love, Let’s Talk About It, Happy and Gay, Pride, Allyship, Afterword, Resources and Support Service, Acknowledgements.

This book will help you get the answers that you are in need of. One of the really big questions from 14year olds up is are you queer? That includes are you a lesbian, Trans Gay, Bisexual or perhaps none of these but something else not quite straight.

The L to the + of the queer alphabet is shown in full detail.

However no one should worry what their sexuality is, as there is evidence of the same-sex attraction, and marriage from the ancient world.

A lot of queer people will ask is it normal? Well a recent study of a census data showed that the LGBTQ+ community makes up roughly one in ten of the population.

I would like to think good in of all us straight people, that we all would accept any queer people in the LGBTQ+

I’m really pleased that Alexis Caught has written this this guide to LGBTQ+ people as nothing like this has been written before.

I would like to thank Walker for sending me this book to read and review

About Alexis Caught

Alexis Caught is an award-winning podcaster, writer, speaker, model and rugby player. His areas of passion and expertise are mental health and wellness, the millennial struggle, and the queer community.
As a writer, he has had viral hits for Attitude magazine and the Mirror, while also being a featured author in the best-selling mental health book It’s Not Okay To Feel Blue, with his essay The Thread Of Sadness already being used by schools to educate on homophobia and mental health.
His podcast series, Qmmunity, a long form documentary series that explores queer topics in depth, won silver at the National Podcast awards 2019. Not only is it the UK’s leading queer documentary podcast series, but also enjoys a high international listenership. His speaking positions have varied from the highly academic, such as Harvard Law School, to corporate days and community lead panel events for organisations and charities.
Alexis also plays for The Kings Cross Steelers, the world’s oldest Gay & Inclusive rugby club, founded 24 years ago, who recently won England Rugby Union’s highest honour – Team Of The Year in recognition of their undefeated playing season and their continual work to combat homophobia in sport. For the last five years, he has been a volunteer for a charity that offers respite care and outdoor activities for young people with additional needs.
An “ethical digital influencer”, he uses his platform to engage in conversations about mental health and wellbeing, LGBTQ+ rights, and politics – which led to him advising the emergency response line charity Shout! on how they can better support queer people with their services. He was the first queer brand ambassador for ASOS, and has been the face of GlamGlow, Ugg and Remmington.
