5.0 out of 5 stars
A needed reference for anyone concerned about civil rights!,
By
This review is from: How to Make the World a Better Place for Gays & Lesbians (Paperback)
Fahy has created a reference book that not only exposes homophobia and proves that it hurts everyone but also offers solutions. Adding to the book's appeal as a resource manual, she neatly organizes each chapter with sub-headings, explaining a particular situation, what gays can do about it, why non-gays should care, and what non-gays can do. Fahy takes into account people's communities, prejudices, etc., offering different advice for different readers.An engaging and optomistic book that deserves the attention of anyone who is concerned about civil rights!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A book gay activists should definitely have on their shelf,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make the World a Better Place for Gays & Lesbians (Paperback)
I found this book to be quite useful and its suggestions to be really good for those who try to counteract homophobia. The only fault is really the title since it is geared mainly for gays and lesbians in the USA. Nothing is mentioned about other nations. A more fitting title might be "How to Make Life Better for Gays and Lesbians" Luckily Israel is a country where homophobia is not nearly as rampant as in the USA. Our legal system affords us a great deal of protection here. Nevertheless from time to time homophobia rears its ugly head. I would recommend this book to anyone concerned with gay rights. I am glad to have it on my bookshelf along with similar books by activists/writers such as Betty Berzon and Eric Marcus.
