The New Queer Conscience
Penguin Workshop, June 2020
In The New Queer Conscience, LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility — that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere.
Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today’s leading activists and artists. In this installment, The New Queer Conscience, Voices4 Founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we’re not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.
“The new manifesto for how we as queer people could and should navigate the world. It’s the holding hand I never had–but wish I did.”
—Troye Sivan, Golden Globe nominated-singer, songwriter, and actor
“Small but mighty necessary reading.”
—Kirkus Reviews
