Accolades
“Gigi Engle is a trusted expert in the world of sex and sexuality, and her fresh, funny voice makes her wisdom a delight to read. (You can find it all over Men’s Health, where I jump to work with her again and again.) Her advocacy on behalf of the queer community has made me, and no doubt countless others, feel seen, accepted, and loved.”
“Gigi Engle was the first sexpert I was ever aware of, and for good reason. Her prolific writing, unique voice, and iconic presence as an advocate for the queer community have, no exaggeration, defined what it means to be a sex educator today. Her multi-platform work as a voice for sex-positivity and LGBTQ visibility has always been fun, engaging, and approachable, while also delivering crucial information and insight into the ever-evolving world of sex and gender. The work that Gigi (and the many sex educators and writers she’s influenced) does literally changes minds and lives. Her knack for keeping things fun and all-around fabulous makes it seem like a breeze. Frankly, we’re all extremely lucky to be having sex in a world where Gigi Engle is one of the leading voices defining what sex and sexuality mean today”
“I’m proud to call Gigi Engle not only a friend, but the Bi-Icon and LGBTQIA+ activist of our time. Through her incredibly educated journalism, outreach, and thriving social media community, Gigi is a trusted resource for queers who are looking for guidance, validation, and of course: a smile on their face. Through Gigi’s work, we can clearly see we are living through an active revolution: and she’s redefining what it means to be proud, and queer.”
