While next year will mark 60 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK, last year saw the UK fall to its lowest ever ranking on the European Rainbow Index. While there has been leaps and bounds of progress for queer rights in this century alone, the last decade has seen a wave of anti- LGBTQ+ sentiment. Across the UK, more and more Pride parades have had funding withdrawn, while last month the EHRC published guidance that excludes trans+ folk from public services and social spaces off the back of last year’s Supreme Court ruling. Not to mention that attacks on LGBTQ+ rights have made their way into media, with queer TV shows like the BBC’s I Kissed A Girl being cancelled, and Reform banning LGBTQ+ books from public libraries. As this sentiment creeps into the mainstream, Pride month is a reminder to continue to support queer authors and publishing. To help you celebrate and uplift queer experiences in Pride month and beyond, we’ve consulted colleagues, friends, and family to round up the best LGBTQ+ books to read, including a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and memoirs, spanning genres from classics, to fantasy, and coming-of-age stories.
