Had I read this closer to when it came out, it would have gotten a higher rating. But there were areas of this that did not age well. Still, a very fascinating look at the history of queerness in the aughts and early tens.

I’m fairly certain my library had the older version of this book and I can see why it was criticized and eventually republished

- The second of twelve widely-banned books I’m reading this year
- LGBTQ+ ed for teens
- Has a bit of a “how do you do, fellow kids?” vibe (at one point I read the phrase “bitchy haterz be throwing shade”), often feels outdated despite its 2021 revisions, and tends to rely on stereotypes to get ideas across. Despite all that, there’s a lot of invaluable information in here, especially for teens who are (in general) getting absolutely no queer education in school

This book is filled with a plethora of facts. As an overview of LGBTQIA+ terms, issues, stereotypes, etc, this book is a good starting point. However, some of the ideas are outdated and some are startlingly basic. Also, I will note that this book is heavily skewed towards a gay cis male perspective.
Light, playful tone and some good educational material.
