Although I identify as a straight female, this book really opened my eyes to the World and how cruel and small-minded it can be! Its made me look back at school days and understand people more. I have to admit, the writing style is hilarious, how James Dawson can write about a serious topic in such light is so good! Hats off to Spike Gerrell for some truly hilarious illustrations too!
Totally changed my world view and hopefully many other peoples, both straight and LGBT*!

I didn't really like the humor at the start, I think this can be informative for people but it also feels like my SPHE teacher was tryna be 'hip and cool' and wrote this

While this book is ten years old and could possibly use some updating and inclusion of more asexuality / agender / non binary context history, this was a decent starter for lgbtqia topics.

I think that if I read the second edition, the rating would be higher, sections felt outdated.

Decent primer on LGBTQ+ issues, though (1) predictably focused on gay cis men's experiences, since the author is a gay cis man, and (2) already quite outdated despite being only 10 years old. Time flies....
It does have some sexual content, but in a sexual education way, not a titillating way.
