Hi, so you may have heard about this project a bjillion times from me... well, here I am again! Its the QB4BC - Queer Books for BC high schools campaign, put on by Uvic Pride.
I'm not asking you to donate, I'm just asking if you could pass this message along to those you know who might be interested in spreading the word. We hope to have enough books paid for through donations to be able to give one to every kid who comes to the 2008 Uvic Unity: Youth Leadership Retreat this May - so they can take them back to their high school libraries and Gay-Straight Alliances! That would be so awesome.
Every $25 equals two books for a underfunded high school GSA (or library) - indispensible reading for those kids out there without access to queer-positive support!
Thanks so much for your help in getting the word out!

"Huegel has written an indispensable guide for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning teens, as well as for their straight peers and parents. In 11 candid, fact-filled, nonjudgmental chapters, she covers every aspect of being GLBTQ-- from coming out to homophobia, from religion and culture to sex and sexuality. She devotes an entire chapter to transgender teens, a group that is often ignored or misunderstood. The tone is always supportive and matter-of-fact, Huegel's recommendations are sensible and practical, and apposite quotations from young people who have "been there" enrich the text. The book, designed for browsing, also contains an extraordinary number of references to additional resources--many of them online--as well as a glossary and a bibliography. One of the best one-volume sources of information available about being GLBTQ."
