Family Pride: What LGBT Families Should Know about Navigating Home, School, and Safety in Their Neighborhoods
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
An invaluable portrait and roadmap on how to thrive as an LGBT family
The overwhelming success of Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” YouTube project aimed at queer youth highlighted that despite the progress made in gay rights, LGBT people are still at high risk of being victimized. While the national focus remains on the mistreatment of gay people in schools, the reality is that LGBT families also face hostility in various settings—professional, recreational, and social. This is especially evident in rural communities, where the majority of LGBT families live, isolated from support networks more commonly found in urban spaces.
Family Pride is the first book for queer parents, families, and allies that emphasizes community safety. Drawing on his years as a dedicated community activist and on the experiences of LGBT parents, Michael Shelton offers concrete strategies that LGBT families can use to intervene in and resolve difficult community issues, teach their children resiliency skills, and find safe and respectful programs for their children.

"Community activist Shelton (Boy Crazy) brings intellectual rigor to this well-researched examination of the history, progress, and challenges of LGBT families in the U.S., a broader focus than the title implies."

Doubly marginalized, LGBT families may not feel recognized and affirmed by many agencies that serve families. This earnest, well-researched overview is directed primarily toward families with minor children and one or two LGBT parents, and is ostensibly, as per its title, written as a strategic guide to successfully navigating daily life. However, it reads more as if targeted to policymakers, opinion leaders, and the (non-LGBT) general public, as it comprises an overview of the state of queer families in America, blending statistics and anecdotes to build a convincing case for the many challenges these families typically face in their neighborhoods, schools, health care facilities, religious institutions, and the legal system. Shelton (director, sexual-minority treatment services, Equilibria Psychological Consultants) concludes with a solid set of policy recommendations to protect the parent-child relationship, ensure equal access to government benefits, and create a culture of affirmation and inclusion, taken from the recent report "All Children Matter: How Legal and Social Inequalities Hurt LGBT Families" (though the report is barely mentioned earlier in the book). VERDICT Important but diffuse, this volume attempts to reach multiple audiences, somewhat diminishing its effectiveness, but is worth making available to all potential readers.--Janet Ingraham Dwyer, State Lib. of Ohio, Columbus
