An eye-opening and essential look at the discrimination still faced by LGBTQ+ people today, woven through with moving and jaw-dropping personal accounts, plus practical steps anyone can take to help change things.
 
Despite (and in some cases, driven by) increased visibility in mainstream life and culture, LGBTQ+ people are facing unacceptable levels of prejudice and danger - from a marked increase in homophobic and transphobic violence, to the rollback of hard-fought for rights around the world.

In this groundbreaking, compelling and highly readable book, author and activist Ellen Jones sets out exactly how LGBTQ+ people continue to face discrimination in all areas of life, from education to sports, religion to ageing, marriage to mental health and much more. In searing prose, punctuated with personal accounts from LGBTQ+ people from across the globe, Jones sets out not only the issues but also practical actions, both big and small, that all of us can take to help create a more equal society.

Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply care about human rights and equality, Outrage is essential, and illuminating, reading.
