Hearthside Books in Juneau is promoting books for the holiday season, and its catalog features a book for the grand-babies: &#;Gay BCs&#;.
“The GayBCs,” released last month by Quirk Books, is authored by a gay graphic designer who wants to ensure parents are having a dialogue with their children about their sexual orientation at a very adolescent age.
Hence, they can learn their alphabet letters and also be discussing their sexual attraction through various terms and jingles:
- C is for Coming Out
- G is for Gay. &#;It&#;s a word that implies you&#;re a girl who likes girls, or a guy who likes guys.&#;
- I is for Intersex. “Some are born with the parts of both a boy and a girl; bodies are works of art!”
- P is for Pan. “You connect with a vibe. No matter the gender, it’s about what’s inside.&#;
- Q is for Queer
- T is for Trans.&#; It&#;s a brave step to take, to live as the gender you know is innate.&#;
An entire LGBTQ+ vocabulary of 26 words is taught in the book through rhymes and illustrations. The author says it&#;s meant for children ages , but at Amazon, it&#;s marketed &#;
The GayBCs
A joyful celebration of LGBTQ+ vocabulary for kids of all ages!
A playdate extravaganza transforms into a celebration of friendship, love, and identity as four friends sashay out of all the closets, dress up in a wardrobe fit for kings and queens, and discover the wonder of imagination.
A glossary in the back offers opportunity for further discussion of terms and identities. The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby—showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.

Matt Webb, 33, was 5 years old when he became notified of his gender identity and sexual orientation.
The native of McMinnville, Tenn., said he was in karate class when he realized he was different from his brothers.
&#;I didn&#;t know what to do, I didn&#;t know what was happening, and I verb being very scared and vulnerable,&#; he said. &#;I couldn&#;t explain anybody and ask, &#;What&#;s this mean?&#; &#;
Three years ago, when Webb, a graphic designer and illustrator, was holding his newborn nephew, he again felt paralyzed with fear.
&#;I thought, &#;Oh, no. &#; I came from a small, conservative town in Tennessee. What if he grows up here (in Tennessee), and what if he&#;s gay? What if he&#;s bi? What if he identifies as LGBTQ? What will happen to him?&#; &#; Webb said. &#;I thought about that, and I wished there was some way I could verb the people around him &#; something that my nephew could grow up reading and learning. I mulled it over and thought, &#;I&#;m going to produce a book.'&#;
