Welcome to Litsy!

This year for #PrideMonth I wanted to challenge myself to read all of the letters in the Pride spectrum (well the most common at least - LGBTQAI)

I found that Intersex, Asexual, and Queer were the most difficult books to find.

Q- while queer is often used as a catchall category I was really looking for authors who specifically called themselves Queer, and it turned out harder then I had first thought.

These are the books I read.

When the book you're reading writes beautifully about one of your favorite songs 😍

I'm loving this book ❤️

Trans punk rock singer-guitarist Laura Jane Grace dropped a new single, “Wearing Black.“ Grace is notable for being one of the first highly visible punk rock musicians to publicly come out as transgender, which she did in May 2012.

The video is borderline NSFW, but I couldn't help thinking while watching, “I bet this is what conservatives picture every pride events looks like“ 🤣🤣🤣

My #pridemonth reads this year were soul touching and I really enjoyed them. I hope everyone is having a good pride. Love you all!

Raymond Burr was gay? This makes the fourth Gay Hunk that I've crushed on 😂🤔, I blame those stunning eyes of his.

How have I been a fan for so long and not known about this fact?

I found it tragic that Burr had to hide his relationship with his partner, of 35+ years, Robert Benevides.

As a Perry Mason fan, I want to publicly post a toast to the actor who made the Perry Mason character a Hollywood legend and the one who was his partner.

Family, trauma and grief are the main themes of this book about four sisters. An interesting look at how being raised in the same home is experienced in a different way but each sibling. Good writing and interesting characters make this an engaging read.
