Queer Monologues: Stories of LBGT Youth

by Sandy Newton (Editor), Greg Malone (Foreword), Joshua Jamieson (Contributor)

Queer Monologues: Stories of LBGT Youth, produced by For the Love of Learning (FTLOL), offered queer youth a safe, creative outlet to share their concerns, hopes and personal stories with the community-at-large. If an individual is unable to be themselves, the consequences can be emotional, physical, and mental harm. When feelings are shared within a supportive group and are received non-judgmentally, self-esteem is enhanced, leading to a healthier way of relating to others, oneself, and the community as a whole.

[M.E. Girard]

Found this little tiny book at a Chapters in Toronto. I really enjoyed the monologues--all of them. I was glad to read more Canadian perspectives on queerness. Well done putting this together.

(I'd read a whole book written in the style of Philip Goodridge's piece. Great piece to end on.)

Interesting just wish there was more representation for more then just gay... still very happy with all lgbtq+ books though.

I finished this book very quickly. It was such a pleasure! I love reading Canadian queer stories... because I don't see ourselves represented enough. Powerful and funny. Great read!
