Outing Dating Abuse: A Primer For LBGTQ Youth

by Barb Chandler, BA 

When Barb Chandler poured through the literature about dating abuse she found the majority only had stories about people in opposite-gender relationships. Therefore when she wrote her book "Outing Dating Abuse" she used ancedotes with LBGTQ characters to introduce the topic of each chapter with their thought-provoking stories. Chandler thought it might be easier for readers to absorb the material in her book if they had something to identify with. 

Outing Dating Abuse has factual information especially for lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, and queer/questioning (LBGTQ) youth that will help them to;

• compare healthy and abusive relationships 

• determine if you are in an abusive relationship

• identify various abusive behaviors

• discover why you should be concerned about the cycle of violence

• learn ways to keep yourself safe from harm

• find out about date rape drugs

• learn the make up of a healthy relationship

• find resources supportive of LBGTQ people in abusive relationships.

Outing Dating Abuse is a book whose time has come.
