GAYBCs: A Queer Alphabet in Bloomington, MN

A cheeky, progressive adult alphabet book that celebrates and illuminates LGBTQ terminology.
What would happen if someone picked up a classic ABC book, crossed out the words, and replaced them with LGBTQ terms?
The result would be
GAYBCs
—a playful, subversive alphabet book that aims to spread awareness and demystify queer terminology for everyone. Instead of
apple
,
ball
, and
chick
, this book’s ABCs are
ally
bisexual
cisgender
. A
ladybug
gains a matching girlfriend to become
lesbian
kiss
becomes
kink
tie
gets a gender-bending twist to become
transgender
. Using straightforward, accessible language,
also defines less commonly known terms, such as “femme,” “Mx.,” and “ze,” and puts LGBTQ-friendly spins on words like “wedding” and “equality.” With clear definitions and clever illustrations, this book is accessible to everyone from preteens to grandparents and those in the LGBTQ community as well as family, friends, and allies of all backgrounds. A fun and informative adult picture book,
is a queer ABCs for our modern world.
