Praise for ‘How We Won the War for Equality’

Testimonials

"For decades, Kevin Naff has been a trusted leader at the forefront of LGBTQ equality who leads best-in-class journalism and coverage of LGBTQ people and issues. This book reflects his fierce commitment to excellence and integrity in shaping and reporting on LGBTQ issues. With his unique insights and perspectives, Naff has created a comprehensive and necessary record of the recent history and successes of the LGBTQ community.”

Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO

“This book is a comprehensive window into how LGBTQ equality moved rapidly ahead from someone who has had a front row seat and access to all the players. Kevin writes in a personal way that is quickly engaging in a spirited, sometimes appropriately humorous, straightforward manner that touches on all the many aspects that were needed to create the progress that moved so quickly once the fire of equality was ignited. I was particularly pleased that Kevin included the biggest hurdle to LGBTQ equality, religion.  True Christian teachings move equality forward for all. Unfortunately, often misguided and outdated religious teachings are at the core of harm for too many people. It is a roadblock that many shy away from discussing. A great resource for current and future generations.”

Mitchell Gold, co-founder, chairman emeritus, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Home Furnishings and equality activist who led the way on challenging religious bigotry

"Kevin Naff has had a birds-eye view of LGBTQ history. He offers us a sharp, incisive look at the powerful ways activism can change the world, as well as the ways that progress can quickly be rolled back. Read this book and take it as another reminder of how fragile equal rights are -- and how victorious we can be when we wake from complacency and organize fiercely."

Michelangelo Signorile, SiriusXM radio host and author of “It's Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia and Winning True Equality”

“The only way we’re going to succeed in the future is by understanding our past.   Kevin Naff was a bystander and a chronicler of our recent political history, and ‘How We Won the War for LGBTQ Equality’ is a comprehensive and compelling read that is essential for anyone who wants to move forth with wisdom and insights that will make the path easier.”
