Description: Try This at Home! is a practical, no-nonsense guide for individuals and grass-roots groups on how to pass laws and policies that protect lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals from discrimination. Written by the director of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project of the ACLU, the book suggests strategies to use at the state and local government levels, and at private institutions - including universities, corporations, banks, and social service organizations.

Written in response to the hundreds of requests for assistance Coles has received, Try This at Home! also contains anecdotes from those who have helped enact pro-gay policies, sidebars on what works and what doesn't, and appendixes with the actual wording Coles recommends for gay-friendly amendments to all manner of policies and legislation.
