The Queer Allies Bible - Book Launch Party with NV Gay

👋 Hi, we're Makers Social , the DIY craft bar in the Franklinton Arts District! With a full menu of over 30 DIY crafts & a full bar of cocktails, beers, and rare bourbons, we're excited to invite you to celebrate the official launch of "The Queer Allies Bible", a necessary book in the present climate. This book is a multi-generational resource designed to educate people to be inclusive, accepting, and affirming LGBTQIA+ allies.

In today’s world, there are a lot of opinions and discussions surrounding gender and sexual identity. Whether these conversations are happening in workplaces, legislatures, communities, schools, churches, or on social media, many are taking place without the voices of those most affected—namely members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Using the actual lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, The Queer Allies Bible provides a much-needed guide for how to be an effective and affirming LGBTQIA+ ally. Special emphasis is placed on three main pillars: learning and understanding; being respectful; and advocacy. Through these pillars, the book delves into activities and actions that allies can engage in, including conversation starters; responding to anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks; supporting the coming out process; religion; creating inclusive spaces, and more.

Your Ticket Includes:

• Admission
• One DIY genuine leather bookmark (customized to be your own!)
• One copy of the book, signed by NV
