“Fresh and authentic…[King-Miller] combine[s] the ‘directness’ of Dan Savage with the ‘compassion and gentleness’ of Cheryl Strayed.”—BITCH magazine
Seasoned advice columnist and queer chick Lindsay King Miller cuts through all of the bizarre conditioning imparted by parents, romantic comedies, and The L Word to help queer readers live authentic, safe, happy, sexy lives. With advice on every aspect of life as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer woman—from your first Pride to confronting discrimination in the workplace—there is guidance for some of the most major parts of living in a world that can vacillate between supportive and cruel.
“Lindsay King-Miller is the cool, queer aunt you never had but always wanted—she is unrelentingly kind, totally funny, and no subject is off limits. Ask a Queer Chick is essential reading.”—Jolie Kerr, author of My Boyfriend Barfed In My Handbag...And Other Things You Can't Ask Martha

“I think the book was good enough for what it was, but was soooooo boring for me at this point in my life. I think I would have enjoyed this years ago when I bought it, but as an adult queer person I found it to be dry. I don’t think that a younger person would have understood a lot of the references though, as a lot of them went well over my head. I would have enjoyed more history and sources with her claimed facts. Either way, we need more books like this in the world and we should all be grateful and honored for the brave people who write and publish them. I also think she should have quoted trans people vs speaking on their behalf, but was still pretty respectful with it all.”
