520    An invaluable portrait and roadmap on how to thrive as an 
       LGBT family. The overwhelming success of Dan Savage's "It 
       Gets Better" YouTube project aimed at queer youth 
       highlighted that despite the progress made in gay rights, 
       LGBT people are still at high risk of being victimized. 
       While the national focus remains on the mistreatment of 
       gay people in schools, the reality is that LGBT families 
       also face hostility in various settings--professional, 
       recreational, and social. This is especially evident in 
       rural communities, where the majority of LGBT families 
       live, isolated from support networks more commonly found 
       in urban spaces. Family Pride is the first book for queer 
       parents, families, and allies that emphasizes community 
       safety. Drawing on his years as a dedicated community 
       activist and on the experiences of LGBT parents, Michael 
       Shelton offers concrete strategies that LGBT families can 
       use to intervene in and resolve difficult community issues,
       teach their children resiliency skills, and find safe and 
       respectful programs for their children.--|cProvided by
