The Queer Allies Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Being an Empowering LGBTQIA+ Ally by NV Gay
Ig Publishing, March 2025

While the United States Federal Government continues to add to its growing list of banned/flagged words, including “gay,” “gender identity,” “hate speech,” “LGBTQ,” there are counter efforts to document and respectfully make space for the lives other work to erase. The Queer Allies Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Being an Empowering LGBTQIA+ Ally by author NV Gay offers a means to continue fighting for inclusivity in discussions surrounding gender and sexual identities.

Emphasis is placed on three main pillars: learning and understanding, being respectful, and advocating. The author uses various techniques to educate readers on all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as provide personal narratives to help bring the material to life. There are chapters explaining how to apply the techniques of allyship, such as conversation starters, responding to anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks, supporting the coming out process, religion and the LGBTQIA+ community, creating inclusive spaces, and more.

Whether these conversations are happening in workplaces, legislatures, social media platforms, communities, schools, churches, and more; many are taking place without the voices of those within the community. The Queer Allies Bible, cuts through all the noise and provides a much needed guide for how to be an effective affirming ally.
