The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby—showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.

A is for ALLY.
A friend who is there
to stand up for you
with strength, love, and care.

B is for BI.
You can shout it out loud:
"I like boys and girls, 
and that makes me proud!"

C is for COMING OUT.
You're ready to share
what you feel deep inside;
it's okay to be scared.
