So, you want to understand the perks of being Queer?

Excellent choice! Whether you're an ally looking to expand your knowledge, a questioning soul figuring things out, or a fellow queer person seeking validation for your love of sequins and brunch, this book is for you.


Queer culture is vibrant, hilarious, dramatic, and, at times, downright bizarre. We come in all shades of fabulous, from the flamboyant theater kid to the quiet book nerd who only emerges for Pride Month. There's no one-size-fits-all, but there are common experiences, quirks, and perks that make being queer an absolute delight.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why so many queer people have Theater Kid Energy(spoiler: we're born performers).
  • How queer people mastered the art of storytelling, exaggeration, and dramatic pauses.
  • The queer love affair with musicals, brunch, and ironic nostalgia.
  • How our ability to turn trauma into comedy keeps us resilient.
  • Why the phrase "Is this a date or are we just hanging out?" is basically a queer anthem.
  • The truth about Gay Screams and Theatrical Sighs.


    • The Perks of Being Queer:

  • Built-in Sass – We are the undisputed champions of the side-eye, the clapback, and the witty one-liner.
  • Instant Fashion Sense (or at least an opinion on it) – Whether we dress for the Met Gala or exclusively in oversized sweaters, we own our look.
  • Surrogate Therapist for Straight Friends™ – They come to us with their emotional crises, and we handle them with wisdom, humor, and sometimes a cocktail.
  • Found Family – We create deep, unbreakable bonds with people who get us.
  • Cultural Ambassadors – We introduce the world to niche indie artists, legendary divas, and the art of yelling "Yasss!" at the perfect moment.
  • Unparalleled Resilience – We've faced obstacles, but honey, we thrive.
