Perfectly Queer: An Illustrated Introduction by Victoria Barron
informative
medium-paced
4.0
Perfectly Queer is a beautifully and brightly illustrated guide to the terminology used within and about the LGBTQIA+ community. Whilst it is designed primarily for allies as they support loved ones, etcetera, it will be perfect for anyone wishing to learn about the terminology but don't wish to be bogged down by terminology.
As with any language, the ones used for the community are constantly evolving, and Perfectly Queer explains everything simply so that the reader will come away with an understanding that they may not have had previously. I also loved how, throughout the books, there are such things as word searches, etcetera, which is a quirky way of ensuring the words that have been learned as you go along.
This is a book that should be found in any educational setting, therapists’ offices, etctera to help anyone who may need it. I only wish that books such as Perfectly Queer had been around decades ago when I needed the reassurance to understand who and what I was.
