Updated edition focuses on information about being trans. (The author is trans.) But there is still information about being gay, lesbian, nonbinary, questioning, etc.
This is a fairly comprehensive guide written in a chatty style about many LGBTQ issues. It explains terms, gives suggestions for how to handle different situations, ways to find support, etc. There are quotes from others who have been through similar situations; support agencies are listed throughout and in a resource list at the back. It emphasizes that LGBTQ teens are enough, they do not need to change, they are beautiful the way they are. There is also a chapter on dating and relationships and another on sex and sexuality and they both emphasize that LGBTQ youth are no more promiscuous than any others and that you should not have sex because you are forced to or to prove anything, etc.
This seems like a useful guide for teens that they can either read cover to cover or cherry pick the section that is most useful to them at that point in time.
