We're Here! We're Queer! Get Used to Us! Survival Strategies for a Hostile World. (Paperback)

News reports of anti-gay/lesbian/bisexual, transgendered violence, especially the media coverage of the brutal murders of Teena Brandon and Mathew Shepard, leave us feeling hopeless. "We're Here We're Here Get Used to Us Survival Strategies for a Hostile World" book provides an antidote this sense of hopelessness by showing how LGBT people have successfully defended themselves against homophobic comments, threatening situations, and violence. "We're Here Get Used to Us Survival Strategies for a Hostile World" also includes a chapter describing same-sex intimate abuse and violence and includes examples of how GLBT people got out of damaging relationships. "We're Here Get Used to Us Survival Strategies for a Hostile World" reads like a warm supportive coach that cheers readers on for their past efforts to defend themselves, and offers techniques and strategies that readers can practice and use. In the process, it helps readers come to terms with the sexual harassment and violence that they have experienced in the past and puts the blame where it should go - on the perpetrators. This is a great book for any lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered person who is tired of feeling afraid, is sick of circumscribing his/her life in order to feel safe, wants to know how to defend themselves, or needs to get out of an abusive relationship.
