Review: "YOU CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKING": AND 20 OTHER MYTHS ABOUT LGBT LIFE AND PEOPLE, by Michael Bronski, Ann Pellegrini, and Michael Amico

YOU CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKING provides a great overview for tackling common myths about the LGBT community, including myths perpetuated by those for and against LGBT rights. I enjoyed the format of this book, which allows the reader to pick and choose which sections to read. You can read the book all the way through, or you can go directly to a topic that interests you. As the writers point out in the introduction, this book gives readers enough information to dispute the myths during a dinner conversation (so to speak). The reason I'm attributing 4 stars to this book is that in some sections I was left feeling as though the authors did not fully dismantle the myth in question.

Stars: 4/5
Recommended for: Anyone interested in learning more about the LGBT community and how that community is politically and socially relevant today.
