The New Queer Conscience by Adam Eli
5.0
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.
