A collection of original essays and expanded testimonials written to teens from celebrities, political leaders, and everyday people. While many of these teens can't see a positive future for themselves, we can. We can show LGBT youth the kind of happiness, potential, and satisfaction their lives hold if they can just get through these early years.

Hopeful submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 4, 2023, 8:07pm This book of dozens upon dozens of essays both mimics and pulls from the video project of the same name. Its goal is clear: to tell suicidal LGBTQ teens that they have a community and a future, if they can just hang in through their teenage years. The incredible range of writers span all ages (from late teens to queer elders), rural to urban, small towns to big cities, every kind of job and faith (or not), plus straight allies. It’s an amazing and affirming collection.
