7 Must-Read Queer Histories Perfect for Pride Month

The month of June is a time of celebration and joy for the queer community, but it can be easy to forget how much time, activism, and bravery it took to get here. We've selected 7 extraordinary books that honor and explore LGBTQ+ history, from Walt Whitman's Brooklyn in the 1850s to the 1936 Berlin Olympic games, from the Stonewall Riots to the birth of the ACT UP! movement, and so much more.
