  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;Homosexuality has been politicized. But when the issue hits home, whether it involves a family member, colleague, or neighbor who's gay, all that controversy fades in the face of a real, live person who wants and deserves basic human rights and freedoms. Written by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people and those who care about them, &lt;i&gt;50 Ways to Support Lesbian and Gay Equality&lt;/i&gt; is a compendium of informative, joyful, and poignant essays by well-known experts, activists, and leaders, each promoting understanding while suggesting simple actions. From defining terminology (&quot;What's gay baiting?&quot;), to exploring family issues (&quot;How can I support a lesbian couple who want to have children?&quot;), the book deftly navigates workplace, cultural, and political issues. This timely and much-needed guide demonstrates positive ways to deal with everyday homophobia and heterosexism, or just plain uncertainty at the unfamiliar, offering guidance on issues ranging from the personal &amp;#8212; what to say to a closeted friend &amp;#8212; to the political &amp;#8212; how to support gay rights around the world.&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>
