A Lee Beckstead's Diverse Sexualities, Genders, and Relationships: Feel Secure in Yourself is a hardcover guidebook in Psychology Books for LGBTQIA+ people and people with a different label or no label. It aims to help readers respond to minority stress, build self-acceptance and resilience, clarify their beliefs, and better understand themselves and others.

It discusses sexual and gender diversity, relationships, and making important life decisions with greater self-awareness and self-direction. The LGBTQIA+ Peacemaking Book Project includes this guidebook and Relate to Others with Confidence, both published by Rowman & Littlefield, plus twelve e-resources self-published by chapter coauthors.

Each chapter has 4-15 coauthors whose views sometimes differ politically. Over 120 scholars, clinicians, and community leaders contributed to the project to seek common ground, reduce prejudice, and support LGBTQIA+ health and self-development. Written for the general public, the resources can also be used by academics, clinicians, researchers, religious leaders, parents, and other providers.

They address sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity, faith and purpose, emotional health, resilience, and relationships for conservative and progressive readers. The project describes itself as a bridge-building social experiment intended to help readers develop their identities and skills, resolve conflicts, and reduce side-taking. SKU sku-5283650087.
