The Common Press warmly invites you to the book launch of Step Bi Step by Laura Clarke on 1 October, from 7–9 pm, featuring a special conversation with Dee Whitnell.
Am I really bisexual if I haven’t kissed someone of the same gender?
How do I handle people sexualising my identity?
What does it mean if I like one gender more than others?
In Step Bi Step, Laura Clarke, sex educator and LGBTQIA+ expert offers compassionate guidance for anyone exploring their bi+ identity. With wisdom and insight from beloved activists and influencers including Megan Jayne Crabbe, Sofie Hagen, Pearl Mackie, and Zachary Zane, this empowering book tackles myths, misconceptions, biphobia, coming out, dating, and sex.
Join us for an evening of conversation and community as we explore what it means to thrive as a bi, pan, or queer young person.
An absolute gift of a book. Clarke guides readers through the joys and challenges of bi+ identity with an abundance of heart, compassion, and wisdom. What shines through in every page is Clarke's belief that queerness is an experience of possibilities, not limitations. I wish I had this book as a young person, and I'm sure many young readers will find the courage to be themselves in its pages. --Cody Daigle-Orians, author and asexuality educator, @acedadadvice
The uplifting, reassuring guide I wish I'd had when I was figuring out my sexuality. Laura writes with so much humour and warmth and I know this is going to be an invaluable resource for so many young people. -Milly Evans, award-winning sex educator and author of Honest
