Thank you for recommending non fiction books for pride. 🏳️🌈
Highly recommend The Men with the Pink Triangle, about gay men targets during the Holocaust. Not an easy read but it's important to remember all the victims which did include the LGBTQ+ community.
Thank you!
Such a good book
I'll definitely be checking these out. Especially Bad Gays because everyone loves a good villain.
I'd also recommend It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful by Jack Lowery. It's about how AIDS activists used art to fight the AIDS crisis. It acknowledges the centering of white privileged men in the historical narrative of this particular issue and makes a significant effort to include those not normally included. It's a fascinating book that I've been finding very accessible and engaging.
Thank you for all the recommendations 🌈
WAIT I never clocked that audio as you!!! omg ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Haha 😇
Thank you! I'll definitely check out Outrageous. One of my favourite queer non-fiction books is Derek Jarman's "At Your Own Risk". It's a glorious polemic, celebrating his fury at the world of heteronormativity and his very personal experience of the 1980s HIV crisis. Another recent favourite is Jeremy Atherton Lin's "Gay Bar: Why We Went Out" which looks at the culture of (specifically male) gay bars in Britain and America. Partly autobiographical, it also acknowledges a culture that appears to be uncertain of its own future. The only thing wrong with Lin's book is that I keep lending copies to friends and not getting them back!
Thank you for all the recommendations! and wows for this outfit, you look lovely! :)
I'm reading non fiction too. I've just started Growing Up Queer in Australia, part of a series of Growing Up (Insert Descriptor) in Australia.
"If You'll Have Me" is a cute (standalone?) sapphic graphic novel, similar to Heartstopper--I think it was blurbed by Alice Oseman! :)
Lunar Boy had me weepy. Definitely recommend that graphic novel!
Us spooky queers get to have fun at pride and have fun this month too!!! I want Willows favorite spooky LGBT books!!!!
Your wish is my command! ruclips.net/video/gL8n9BByx6M/видео.htmlsi=gkQElpsZqHGzKsGT
Definiyely gonna check out the graphic novel. Most of the queer books I've read this month are horror fiction, but I read and loved Kai Cheng Thom's poetry collection A Place Called No Homeland. =)
of course I'll love to listen
to an audiobook narrated by
you and maybe I'll even find a
representation for myself (my
son is sure I'm a demisexual,
he's probably right. young
people usually are,
aren't they?)
anyway, I love your atitude
towards acceptance and the
brave way you fight for respect:
happy pride! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I love the way that you trust the wisdom of young people. Humans only get better 💜
Outrageous is a must-read, especially now.
As always, great video! I've been meaning to read Bad Gays for a while now.
A title that I would add to the list is Branded by the Pink Triangle by Ken Setterington.
Outrageous is brilliant, especially in a time of censorship of marginalised groups!
another coffeetable book i can recommend is We Are Everywhere - it details the history of Stonewall (+ gorgeous photography)
Amazing, thanks!
thank you for the recommendations Willow!!!!! happy pride month!!!!!
Holding the Voyager mug at just the right angle for your tea to fill in the rest of Robert Picardo’s head.
Subscribing for that alone & ordering Outrageous asap.

The LGBTQ + History Book is very special read by you Willow, as you have great upbeat energy.
I really want to read all of the other books you talk about here. I think the "comic" book Out intrigues me first.
Thanks for the recommendations; I'm looking forward to giving these a read!
Thanks. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
Great video!
I finished the LGBTQ+ History audiobook last week. Phenomenal! It was a joy learning important queer history from a trusted voice. Thank you Willow. ❤
Oh yay, thank you so much!
5:11 Willow: could’ve done with more women
Me: someone write that book 😮
I've been listening to the audiobook of LGBTQ History and it's great so far.
Thanks!
Happy Pride and happy reading!!! 🏳🌈❤
Great, thank you for the recommendations! Now I will definitely *listen* to the LGBTQ+ History book 😁
I just found out Sally Ride was gay. So much of women's history was obscured we had a woman in space but still in the closet...
I saw your history book recommendation video and added a couple on my to-buy list. I wanna know more about LGBT history seeing as I'm trans myself. I never knew about the section 28 stuff. That's so insane, I really need to read that book so I can learn about it and also so I can smack people with it who dare try to section 28 trans people in today's age.
My biggest frustration is that you prefer dark horror…you do such great reviews! But I don’t care for dark horror, or really much horror at all. *sigh* My life is sad 😜
Haha I’m both flattered and sorry! 😅
LGBTQ History is on my TBR for sure but I will have to get Outrageous , sounds amazing. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
New books to go buy
Pride by Tim Tate is a great non fiction about gay people in the 80s. Told through interviews

I'm convinced history is full of bad lesbians but the men never wrote about them so we'll never know all the exploits they got up to. It's a shame. Outrageous sounds really interesting so I'll have to see if I can track down a copy
Yes! Acceptance would be lovely, but human rights are nonnegotiable!
Not me thinking “she who should not be nominated” when you said “trans horror” at the beginning 😱😱😱 she’s the horror we don’t like! 😅
