ABOUT THIS BOOK

A book to influence mindsets and motivate people to put humanity first, and live ‘equally’.

 

equALLY: Stories by Friends of the Queer World is a first-of-its-kind anthology of powerful personal stories by individuals who have stood up and spoken for the LGBT+ community, and created safe spaces at home, schools, colleges, workplaces, and in society. The book features 45 authentic stories of influencers, corporate leaders, parents, teachers, teenagers, and celebrates life experiences, perspectives, and sentiments of their journey to ‘allyship’.

Each tale in this book is an inspiration, a motivation, and a reminder that there are people across the country for whom the aspect of an individual’s identity and existence is imperative. Conveying their solidarity towards the LGBT+ community through their written experience of realisation and transformation into an Ally makes this more than just a book—it is a significant milestone on the path towards inclusion. Everyone has ‘ally’ stories to tell and we recognise that with each retelling, these stories create stronger connections, inclusion and bring about change. This is not just a book, but a movement!
