We see Born This Way as an engaging gift book with the potential to be a modern gay pride classic!

Sure to become a modern LGBTQ+ pride classic, this ""amazing"" celebration of the pains and joys of growing up gay features personal stories from around the world (The Huffington Post)

Based on the hugely popular blog of the same name, Born This Way shares 100 different memories of growing up LGBTQ+. Childhood photographs are accompanied by sweet, funny-and at times, heartbreaking-personal stories. Collected from around the world and dating from the 1940s to today, these memories speak to the hardships of an unaccepting world and the triumph of pride, self-love, and self-acceptance.

This intimate little book is a wonderful gift for all members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as their friends and families. Like Dan Savage's It Gets Better Project, Born This Way gives young people everywhere the courage to say, ""Yes, I'm gay. And I was born this way. I've known it since I was very young, and this is my story.""
