Joyously Free: Stories & Tips for LGBTQ+ People, Parents and Allies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956879551)

Are you ready to step into the courage and confidence required to live true to yourself as an LGBTQ+ person?

Or are you ready to live even more loudly and proudly?

Or, are you the parent of an LGBTQ+ person who is looking for guidance on how to support them?

Perhaps you're an ally or advocate who's seeking ways to bolster the queer community and ensure their freedoms?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this book is for you.

Joyously Free! Stories & Tips for Living Your Truth as LGBTQ+ People, Parents and Allies by Elizabeth Ann Atkins and Joanie Lindenmeyer celebrates personal fulfillment, joy, and the exhilarating adventure of blazing a passionate trail into self-discovery.

The authors and dozens of contributors from across America share personal stories and tips in chapters that explore being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer, as well as being the parents and allies/advocates of LGBTQ+ people. These stories appear in chapters that explore same-sex marriage, self-love and affirmation, tips for finding the courage to come out and create a joyous life, and guidance for finding peace and love with spirituality and religion-a topic that has deeply wounded many LGBTQ+ people.

Joyously Free! touches on the emotional turmoil and lack of fulfillment experienced by those restricted by fear, secrecy, and societal judgment.

The authors hope that this book can serve as a beacon of hope and empowerment that helps people everywhere live Joyously Free!
