The New Queer Conscience

A SYDNEY TAYLOR NOTABLE BOOK • LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility—that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere. After all, wouldn’t you want someone to fight for you?

“The new manifesto for how we as queer people could and should navigate the world. It’s the holding hand I never had—but wish I did.”—Troye Sivan, Golden Globe nominated-singer, songwriter, and actor

“With the persistence of queerphobia all around the world, this book is absolutely necessary, even vital.”—Édouard Louis, internationally bestselling author of History of Violence

Voices4 founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we’re not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.
