What People are Saying About This
"There was a time when books and resources on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues were scarce--especially for children and young adults. Now there are many books available and Lesbian and Gay Voices is an excellent guide to finding what we need. . . . This is comprehensive, thorough, and up-to-date. A wonderful tool that PFLAG chapters and supporters nationwide can use to find the latest information on a range of GLBT issues presented in age-appropriate ways. With Lesbian and Gay Voices, readers can find books that can illuminate questions about sexual orientation and gender identity for parents, educators, and school administrators as well as youth."
"Back when we were kids, Lesbian and Gay Voices, this wonderfully complete and helpful book, could have spared us a great deal of pain and anxiety. . . . Make no mistake: this is a book that can save lives. . . . This is indeed a book whose time has come! I welcome it and applaud it, and I hope that you will, too."
"Here at last is a much needed guide to lesbian/gay themed literature for young readers. For years librarians, teachers and parents have been asking for help in finding compassionate books that will provide support for young lesbian and gay people who are often isolated, ostracized and confused. Award winning author/educator Frances Ann Day offers us a thoughtful guide that will awaken empathy for an at-risk population of youngsters. She provides insight into the role books can play in enhancing self-esteem, providing refuge, nurturing hope, building community and touching the hearts and minds of people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and orientations."

"Lesbian and Gay Voices is a much-needed resource. Throughout the last decade there has been an explosion of lesbian and gay themed literature, and an unprecedented number of schools that have moved toward inclusion of these issues in both policy and pedagogy. Lesbian and Gay Voices skillfully presents educators, administrators and librarians with a comprehensive collection of the top literary works in this area for youth of all ages. Through thoughtful annotations, evaluation guidelines, and author profiles, Day guides her reader through the world of lesbian and gay literature with insight and organization."
