Hop Against Homophobia

What is the Hop Against Homophobia? It’s a blog hop created by a growing group of authors who write GLBTQIA works and who wish to bring awareness to GLBTQIA literary works and those who identify with non-binary gender. This year it begins on May 17th and will last through May 27th. It starts with IDAHO, May 17th, the International Day Against Homophobia.

We hope to bring attention to crucial issues surrounding homophobia, censorship of GLBTQIA works, and to current socio-economic, political, and very personal issues surrounding those who don’t identify with the strict binary categorization of sexual identity.

It’s important to note that The Hop Against Homophobia doesn’t only represent plights of discrimination. It represents a time of change; not only one of change in perspective but also one of behavior and the law. Now, more than ever before.

I am proud to be an author of GLBTQIA literature and hope to bring you works that inspire you, give you strength and, above all, give you hope; and, perhaps, be fortunate enough to change perspective.

Over the course of the next ten days, join me in helping to bring awareness to the world, in teaching the world that those of us who don’t identify in binary ways aren’t to be feared, reviled, or persecuted, but simply accepted for who we are.

In honor of this terrific blog hop, I’m giving away one SIGNED pdf copy of my Young Adult novella, SAFE by the other me, Cody Kennedy.

All you need to do is comment below. At the end of the blog hop, I will randomly select a winner and post your name here! Be sure to check back on my blog on May 29th to see if you won!

Here’s to changing the world for the better! Be calm and rock on! It does get better!

O.o It's out! A review of the "other me"!

Boys on the Brink poses a hard question to Cody!

This is billed as being for young adults and some might say the content is perhaps a little too sexually explicit for the intended audience. How would you respond?




Stay tuned for excerpts and information about Cody's upcoming novel, Omorphi!
