For me, personally, The New Queer Conscience didn't offer much of anything new. It was a short, quick read with basic thoughts on how we can support each other in the queer community. I appreciated how the author discusses his intersectionality of being both Jewish and queer, while still acknowledging his privilege of being a white cis man. There are many more conversations that could stem from the principles the author shares in this book. I would love to see how those conversations would go if we took things a few steps further.

📖 The New Queer Conscience by Adam Eli Book Review 📖
“Queer people anywhere are responsible for queer people everywhere. After all, wouldn’t you want someone to fight for you?” - Adam Eli.
4th book of January 2022 and 4th of the year:
This was a re-read after being gifted the physical copy, and, once again, I loved it! The social commentary and discussions about what’s going on in the world, and the messages and themes of helping, uplifting, and fighting for and beside each other are so important and written out so well and so thoroughly, with the author giving exact steps as to how and why we should do these things and how none of us are free and safe until all of us are free and safe. The audiobook for it is also done beautifully. I easily gave it five stars again, highlighted/underlined everything, cried when reading it, and highly recommend that absolutely everyone pick it up! This is definitely a book that I will return to again and again. TWs for antisemitism, bullying, body shaming, death, hate crimes, gun violence, violence, homophobia, transphobia, murder, abuse, police brutality, racism, shootings, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and outing📚🎧💖🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
