'Queers, allies, you'd better pay attention, because Ellen Jones is impossible to ignore' - Sophie Duker, comedian and writer

'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 dangerโ€”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 by 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.
