Our goal is to create a book of personal stories from the LGBT community about the love and hate felt during their fight for equality.
The Just One Book Project is a collection of stories from the LGBT community around the country, sharing their personal experiences of love, loss, pain, and inequality.
Our goal is to give those who are opposed to marriage equality the opportunity to read these stories, with the hope of getting people thinking. If this project changes even one person's mind then it will be a huge step in the right direction. We'll be sending the finished project to a list of public figures that are openly opposed to equality. From politicians, to athletes and religious leaders. We're asking them to respond, even if it's negative.
Our authors are young and old, gay, lesbian, straight, everyday people. The essays include tales of acceptance, coming out, hate, and, most importantly, love.
We're not just telling stories, we're sharing lives. We're trying to start conversations and get people thinking. Please help us reach our funding goal and share these stories with the world.
Here is a full breakdown of our $9,500 goal.
And you can get so many more details on our website.
Our website is also where you can see our preliminary list of people who we plan on sending the final book.
