Like Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project, Born This Way gives young people everywhere the courage to say, “Yes, I’m gay. And I was born this way. I’ve known it since I was very young, and this is my story.”
Born this way offers clarity and compassion on the key issues around same-sex attraction. It provides a vital contribution to a conversation that won't go way.
The detail in this book is incredible, and the interviews with different people who were part of Gia's life are so rich and intriguing; it is truly a great read.
Born This Way tells the story of how a biologically based understanding of gender and sexuality became central to LGBTQ+ advocacy.
