James Dawson: This Talk is Gay

Award winning 'Queen of Teen' and former Sex Ed teacher James Dawson argues why rigorous Sex Education should be mandatory and explains what prompted him to write 'This Book is Gay' a guide to sex and relationships for young LGBT people. James Dawson is the award-winning author of dark teen thrillers 'Hollow Pike', 'Cruel Summer' and 'Say her Name'. Until recently, James worked as a teacher, specialising in PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and behaviour. His first non-fiction book, 'Being a Boy' tackled puberty, sex and relationships in a frank and funny fashion. A follow up for young LGBT people, 'This Book is Gay' is released this September
