Sink the Pink's Manifesto for Misfits: Be Different, Be Free, Be You

Description

A rousing, colourful and joyous manifesto dedicated to misfits everywhere seeking empowerment, their tribe and themselves. In a world plagued by boring binaries, restrictive labels and blinkered expectations, it is easy to feel out of step or like you don't belong. Sink the Pinks Manifesto for Misfits is dedicated to you: from finding your power to dreaming big, owning your space to chasing your joy, embracing your uniqueness to broadening your narrative, each cis-tem-crashing chapter will revolutionise how you see yourself, no matter where you are on your journey. Discover within thinkpieces, reflective exercises and living testimony from a brave community of self-proclaimed eccentrics, freaks, geeks, rebels and oddballs - including Jade Thirlwall (Little Mix), Yungblud and Spice Girl Mel C - to remind yourself that you are not alone and weirdos win in the end. Too fat, too femme, too weird, too much... lifelong outsider and inclusivity campaigner Glyn Fussell challenges such toxic notions, forces you to question the powers at play and confront internalised demons. With each of his witty commandments, you will learn why and how to reject the status quo tolive your life your way. He is the founder of Sink the Pink, the largest LGBTQ+ collective in the UK, whose events offer a portal to another world where anything is possible and everyone is welcome. His perspective-shifting book is an antidote to confusion, fear and repression. Feel the love, find self-acceptance and let your freak flag fly.

Over the last ten years, Glyn Fussell has cemented himself as the King of the UK club scene. It all started over a decade ago when he and his best friend came up with the idea of what made the perfect night out. And so the cultural phenomenon Sink the Pink was born, one of the biggest, most innovative nights out in the UK. Sink the Pink is the largest LGBTQ+ collective in the UK, continuously challenging the status quo and freedom of expression through mind-blowing events. They are the antidote to sameness in all areas of life. At Sink the Pink everyone is welcome and everyone is celebrated.Their events sell out in a matter of hours and press and celebrities alike love them. Their charity work extends to Mermaids, Stonewall and Cool Earth.

I love this book! Its vibrant and jumps off the page at you! -- Fearne Cotton For as many people that hated me there are people that love me for being different, I've made a career out of that. I love making people happy and this book will bring people so much joy and peace of mind in a mixed up world. -- Amanda Lepore I am so glad this book exists! Finally a fun read for all the weirdos in the playground - I wish this book was out when I was younger, It would have changed my life! -- Jodie Harsh "This book brought me back to the kid I was so many years ago. It would have fit perfectly in my backpack, the pages poured over and marked up with a ballpoint pen, as I ran around and threw everything at the wall to see what stuck. The funny thing is, everything in here still applies to my life now. Glyn has created a springboard of possibility and inspiration for those of us who can't help but be ourselves: high-kicking and tap-dancing for no other reason other than it makes us feel good. It's a potent fruit-punch of a guide that didn't really exist. Now that it does, it will be a blessing for so many that didn't even realize they needed it until it's in their hands." -- Jake Shears, lead singer of Scissor Sisters Woah this book is so engaging and very special, I'm so proud of my friend Glyn. You will love this book. -- Jess Glynne, Singer / Songwriter
