Description

Outrage by Ellen Jones argues that equality for LGBTQ+ individuals should be the norm, yet they still face severe discrimination globally. Despite increased visibility, the community encounters rising violence and legal setbacks.

The book not only identifies issues but also offers actionable solutions for fostering equality and celebrates pioneers making positive changes. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or a human rights advocate, Outrage is a vital read, shedding light on ongoing challenges and paths to progress.
