yes!! this book is SO important, and is probably something younger me needed when I was coming to understand my sexuality and my religion and whether they can co exist or not. (fun fact, they can!). yes this book is excellent and I'm so glad it exists

"The world is full of so many different expressions of what it means to be human." - The Book of Queer Prophets

I am not much of a religious person, however, these stories of people of the LGBT+ Community struggling with difficulties between their religion and their sexuality were very raw and honest.

The accounts range from uplifting to saddening, yet it was completely informative and held the communal message of people just wanting to be accepted for being who they are.

I'm grateful for my opportunity to read this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for my honest review.

I'm not a religious person, but I am a supporter of Gay rights. I loved this book. The articles were poignant, relevant and down to earth.
What I particularly liked was the way these 'prophets' really looked at their repsective religions and analysed them .
As far as I'm concerned this should be on the RE syllabus for schools. Brilliantly informative, well researched and totally and absolutely relevant. Loved it!
