Outrage:
Despite being more visible in mainstream culture than ever before, LGBTQ+ people are facing unacceptable levels of prejudice and danger – from a marked increase in homophobic and transphobic violence, to the rollback of rights around the world.
In this groundbreaking, compelling and essential book, author and activist Ellen Jones sets out exactly how LGBTQ+ people continue to face discrimination, looking at education, sports, religion, marriage, mental health and much more.
In searing prose, punctuated with personal accounts from LGBTQ+ people from across the globe, Jones sets out not only the issues but also practical actions, both big and small, that all of us can take to help create a more equal society. What’s more, she shines a spotlight on the amazing individuals already working hard to change things.
Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply care about human rights and equality, Outrage is essential, and illuminating, reading.
We have a hearing loop available in the shop. Please email us if you would like seats reserving at the front of the event to utilise the loop.
This event will take place at The Heath Bookshop and tickets are on sale now.
As always, we look forward to seeing you.
