Book review: How to Make the World a Better Place for Gays and Lesbians by Una W. Fahy.

Fahy has created a reference book that not only exposes homophobia and proves that it hurts everyone but also offers solutions. Adding to the book's appeal as a resource manual, she neatly organizes each chapter with sub-headings, explaining a particular situation, what gays can do about it, why non-gays should care, and what non-gays can do. Fahy takes into account people's communities, prejudices, etc., offering different advice for different readers. This is an engaging and optomistic book that deserves the attention of anyone who is concerned about civil rights!
