Young queer kids will find answers and validation in Rowan Ellis’ book, “Here and Queer: A Gay Girl’s Guide to Life.” Ellis is a queer video essayist who used her own experiences (and the help of some friends) to take readers through queer life, coming out and dealing with the tough stuff, finding friends, and celebrating Pride.

Though the title references “gay girls,” Ellis told Gayety the book is not limited and covers a variety of experiences and advice across the LGBTQIA+ community. Watch the full interview to hear more about Ellis and how you can get your hands on a copy of her book.
