Abstract
Blackburn's (2012) recent book invites readers to consider literacy as a tool for engaging lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) youth and their allies in the service of fostering a positive school climate. Her use of concrete examples, learned experiences from facilitating diverse literary performances, and insightful assimilation of relevant literature all result in an informative, engaging, and inspiring text.
