I love this video so much, queer rep is so important, especially for queer kids and teens :) Also all of these books>>>>>

my experience with last night at the telegraph club has been the opposite. because it is SO GOOD I constantly needed to put it down to think and reflect on choices in writing and dialogue!! so no one sitting read, and days later I still find things to marvel about. also, this video was amazing, added cruising utopia to my wishlist

Thank you for collecting these books together. :) There were a few books that I haven't heard of or they aren't on my TBR... yet!

Thank you for bringing up a lot of intersting and important books that I haven't heard of but will definitly be checking out in the future!

Thank you for the non fiction reccomendations especially. I've also found it difficult to find those kinds of resources, so thank you for compiling them. I had a really good recommendation in mind, but I just found out it hasn't been translated to English apparently, :( well, maybe some other time.

Orlando is on my tbr for this year. I've been waiting to read this book. i wanna pick it up with the right state of mind. and the picture of Dorian gray, I read it last year. but I want to re-read the uncensored version

Orlando and On earth we're briefly gorgeous is high on my summer tbr, also Oscar Wilde's work because Dorian Gray is one of my favorite novels too. Now I'm even more excited to read those! Ty for the recommendations!

i will def be reading a handful of these recs!

i love ur videos 😌☕️

I liked Jones' "Euphorias in Gender, Sex and Sexuality Variations: Positive experiences" (good for lGBTIQ, queer theory, data)
