Description
'Queers, allies, you'd better pay attention, because Ellen Jones is impossible to ignore' - Sophie Duker
'This book may well save someone's life' - Robin Ince
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 immensely 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.

Reviews / Votes
Personal, poignant & pertinent. An urgent reminder & a hopeful treatise on queer life that everyone should read. -- Deborah Frances-White, Author of The Guilty Feminist Invaluable reading for anyone invested in a fairer future. Queers, allies, you'd better pay attention, because Ellen Jones is impossible to ignore. -- Sophie Duker Impressively researched and fabulously written. -- Natasha Devon, broadcaster, author and campaigner. Everyone must read Outrage. It's a book for anyone who thinks marriage equality was the end of the fight for our rights . . . spoiler alert - it wasn't. -- Charlie Craggs, activist, icon and author of To My Trans Sisters This book may well save someone's life. -- Robin Ince Outrage is a perfectly-timed reminder that queer people have so much more to fight for - and so much love to give. -- Eleanor Medhurst, author of Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion. An impeccably well researched resource. Jones understands perceptibly the need for reflection, as well as action in the space of activism . . . Allies always want to know where to start, this book is the answer. -- Ben Pechey, DEI consultant, and author of The Book of Non-Binary Joy & Your Gender Book. With all that is going on in the world, it is a crucial time to amplify LGBTQ+ voices. Although so much has been done in the fight for equality, this book is a much needed battle-cry for the fight we still need to show up for. Essential reading for members of the community, and our allies. -- Rox PinkMore details
