Outrage: Why The Fight for LGBTQ+ Equality Is Not Yet Won And What We Can Do About It

Complete equality for LGBTQ+ people should be our benchmark. But despite massively increased visibility in mainstream life and culture, the queer community is facing unacceptable levels of prejudice and danger - from the rise in homophobic and transphobic violence to the rollback of hard-fought for rights across the globe.

In this groundbreaking, compelling and highly readable book, writer and activist Ellen Jones exposes the discrimination queer people continue to face in all areas of life, from marriage to mental health, education to ageing, religion to sport and much more. In searing prose, punctuated with moving personal accounts, Jones sets out not only the issues but also practical actions that any of us can take to create a more equal society, and highlights the trailblazers whose amazing work is already changing the world.

Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply care about human rights and equality, OUTRAGE is essential, and illuminating, reading.

Doors will open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start.

There will be a reading from Outrage, followed by a talk with Ellen Jones. This will be followed by Q&A and book signing!
