Reading this infuriated me. Not because it is an LGBT focused book, but because as an actual gay man I felt like queer/LGBT+ kids deserve better than this! The truth of matter is a whole entire book could be written just about being a gay young man, or just about being a non-binary individual. This book feels hastily written and a disgrace as a resource for things LGBT teens actually need to know. Tell me: WHY does the "Cheat Sheet" section with vocabulary words include "Scat: Eating poop," but NOT even the word "versatile"? How many gay men do you know eat poop?! There are multiple reasons why NOT to get this book or put it in your school library.1) OUT OF DATE/INACCURATE INFORMATIONThis book has a section on it about HIV. Great! But it doesn't even elaborate how signifcantly damaging this was to our beauitful community! No mention of Cleve Jones, no mention of the AIDS Quilt, no mention of Princess Diana. All what it says is that if you don't want HIV, wear a condom- which is far from true. It's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get HIV if you do oral, frotting, hand jobs- basically anything that's not anal. Not only this, but this book treats HIV like a death sentence. No where does it mention anywhere U=U. For indiviudals living with HIV, there is modern day medicine that makes them live long and fulfilling lives. It mentions viral loads, but thanks to modern medicine HIV+ people can become undetectable, therefore unable to transmit the virus.2) LACKING QUEER HISTORY, FOCUSES ON WRONG PEOPLEWill & Grace and Sex and the City? Really? These are two shows mentioned at the end of the book important for the LGBT community to know. What a slap in the face to LGBT elders! The year is 2023. The modern day gay rights movement started in 1969; prior to that the first gay rights movement in the whole world began in Berlin, Germany but then was quickly squished by an evil man named Hitler. This book does not begin to touch the surface at all with queer history. It briefly covers the Stonewall Riots, which did start our modern movement today, but does not even bring up key figures like Marsha P Johnson or Syliva Rivera. It doesn't share the origin of the gay pride flag created by Gilbert Baker in San Francisco, it does not show the evolution of the pride flag which now also has the trans flag in it thanks to Daniel Quasar.Yet for some reason, it's SO important that the author decided to include "Scat" in the vocab section?! Scat is the fetish of eating/smearing feces during sex. It is NOT a LGBT concept. So why is it in this book?! If Juno wanted knowledge on the queer community's fetish side, why not have a section dedicated to the history of cruising. Gay men used to be so terrified of interacting verabally that we used to wear handkerchiefs in our back pockets. This was called the Handkerchief Code. Bottoms wore their hanky on their right side, tops wore their hanky on their left, vers men had both. This was a discerete way of communicating to other men what you wanted. That is 10000% more interesting than including scat!Why does this book include scat, but not fisting, bondage, puppy play, leathermen, etc.? It just feels SO vastily out of place, and quite frankly, off putting. Scat isn't even huge in the gay community. But our leather community has been fundamental! The Folsom Street Fair began because of AIDS and being proud of our LGBT identity. This book doesn't even have the leather flag, but it does have the vocab word for eating poop.3) ALREADY OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE YOUNGER GENERATIONThe first version of this book came out in 2014. Simply put, this book is WAY out of touch with modern day gay issues. Want the truth? The younger generation is already extremely accepting of one another and they could easily google what this book provides. It does not begin to cover what queer kids are focusing on now. Kids today know and understand what Grindr is, they don't need this book. In 2023, high school/college kids are obsessed with starting their own OnlyFans. What is OnlyFans? It is a website where you can upload your own NSFW content and charge people to watch. It's HUGE with the younger gay community. This book doesn't even address issues associated with social media that queer kids are obsessed over in the modern age.I'll be honest. This book reads a lot like an older queer trying to be cool and hip for a baby gay. I was born in 1995, now 27, grew up in a time where it was still not allowed to marry another man, and now I own hundreds of LGBT non fictional books. The truth is, if you're trans/want to learn more about being trans, I highly recommend reading Susan Stryker's Transgender History. It will provide an indepth look at pronouns and more queer history and understanding than this will. If you're gay/want to learn more about being gay, I highly recommend reading anything by Eric Marcus and his "Making Gay History."This book just ain't it, people.
