Last night I finished reading 'Outrage' by Ellen Jones.
And just now, I've submitted a five-star review on Amazon: here it is:
Ellen Jones writes in a very easy-to-read manner; whether she's recalling her own experience or galvanising the reader to take action to help support LGBTQIA+ rights. It is, indeed, full of outrage, but also full of suggestions of what the reader can do to show allyship to the community. I haven't read a better book that clearly sets out the inequalities and discrimination facing the community.
If you're not part of the community, this is a perfect book to see what barriers face us and different aspects of our identity. For those who are part of the community but not yet encouraged to support ALL of the community, this book is for you. For those who are part of the community and fully support all members of our community, this book will simply reinforce your resolve and probably teach you things you didn't know you needed to know. There were aspects of the book that I didn't know I needed to know. And if you're unsure if you should read this book – just read the introduction, and if that doesn't encourage you to do something, then I don't know what will.
Huge congratulations to Ellen on what is a very much needed book.
