"This guide is essential reading for anyone who works with young people and seeks to approach questions of gender and sexuality from a place of wisdom and care. With a warm, narrative voice, Cody Sanders weaves compelling real-world case studies, important research and statistics, local and national resources, and practical guidance. This updated edition speaks directly to our current tumultuous political moment and offers vital new insights into the intersections of gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity." —Keith A. Menhinick, Lecturer in Religious Studies, Affiliate Faculty in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Georgia State University

"The world needs this book. It is thoughtful and informative and expertly explores the nuance of faith, humanity, identity, and the current political climate. Sanders has updated the original to reflect the ever-expanding landscape of the LGBTQIA community and the importance of allyship in today’s world. This book will (once again) be an invaluable, lifesaving resource." —Pepa Paniagua, Coordinator for Innovation and New Ministry Development, Grace Presbytery

"Informative, vast, and practical, Sanders’s work is so necessary for our world right now. This is a tremendous resource for ministry staff and laypersons seeking to better understand and support some of our most vulnerable young people—whether you’re part of a faith community that is already fully open and affirming or whether you’re an ally trying to provide a safe space in one that isn’t there just yet." —Becky Schroeder, Youth Minister, Middletown Christian Church, Louisville, Kentucky
