À propos de cet audio
In this “intimate celebration of queerness”, listeners will meet the LGBTQ+ heroes who are changing the world on step at a time (OUT Magazine).
Collecting deeply personal conversations with inspirational LGBTQ+ trailblazers (from Troye Sivan to Margaret Cho) about how they leveraged the challenges and insights they had as relative outsiders to succeed in the worlds of business, tech, politics, Hollywood, sports and beyond, Andrew Gelwick’s The Queer Advantage celebrates the unique power of queer identity. Their stories brim with the hard-won lessons gained over their careers. You’ll learn how to:
- Channel anger in a positive way -- using it as rocket fuel to succeed
- Leverage your difference to beget new ideas and strategies
- Bridge generational gaps
- Access resources to conquer denial, internalized homophobia, and doubt
- Read the room, deciding when to fit in and when to stand out
- Find a queer tribe and learn to support one another
The Queer Advantage shows how you can forge your own path in the world–and perhaps even change it for the better.

"This book is for the birds - and I mean it in the nicest way. Just like the nightingale bird, the more people that tried to drown out their voices, the louder they sang. And now, they sing the most beautiful songs of all. Read this book! Hear the nightingales." (Leslie Jordan)
"This collection...feels less like a book of tips from queer power players and more like a series of intimate chats between good friends-that is, if your good friends were LGBTQ+ icons like George Takei, Adam Rippon and Margaret Cho. Offering deeply affecting anecdotes from queer leaders and the life lessons they learned in real time in the worlds of business, tech, sports, entertainment and more, The Queer Advantage encourages readers to find power in their identities." (Time)
"Throughout The Queer Advantage, Andrew Gelwicks and the people he is interviewing make clear that being fully oneself is an advantage, an edge, a benefit to one's individual life and our shared humanity. To be anything but one's full, glorious, gorgeous self would be less than whole and cheapen all of us. This is a book for anyone and everyone, bursting with dynamic conversations and revelations, and challenging all of us to own who we are, love those we love, and expect the best and most out of ourselves, our families, our friends and our society. It is well worth your time. Prepare for laughter, tears, reflection, and hope." (Chelsea Clinton, author, advocate, and vice chair of the Clinton Foundation)
