A very nice and smart book. I liked a lot of Adam Eli's ideas and mindsets.
I think that what he is trying to do could help a lot of people and make the world a better place for the LGBTQ+ community. It would also set a standard for how other minorities could and should be treated. With kindness and respect.

enjoyed the simple and methodical way that eli lays outs his manifesto. i think this would be a good essay for young queer people to read. however, i think this volume would have benefited with some more complexity, particularly when it comes to global queer consciousness (the necessity to avoid veering into homonationalism, especially)

I loved this book. It's short, but powerful. It's all about how the Queer community needs to be a welcoming, loving community to all. We have to be there for each other!

This is such a great short read. Really dives into all the important cultural issues as a queer person. Love the message, and such a good one for baby gays!

I found this book in a local book shop along with other pocket change books such as Imaginary Borders and This Is What I Know about Art. One of Adam's messages that really spoke to me is that no one is alone and that we as a global community need to show up for each other. As a cis, white, woman I know I am coming from a place of privilege and this book reminded me that I because I am in a place fo privilege, it is my duty to speak out and help.
What drew me initially to this book was the intersectionality of Judaism and the LGBTQIAA+ community. Having grown up Jewish, I understood on a personal level when he said, "When someone comes for one of us, they come for all of us." That needs to be true for not just the Jewish and LGBTQIA+ community, but for all of us. Let's be kinder and stand up for everyone.

A great look into the intersectionality of being Jewish and Queer.
