Join Our Little Gay Book Club
Calling all book lovers and bibliophiles! The Little Gay Book Club reads literature that centers the queer ideas, stories, and experiences that shape our movement.
Membership is always free. We meet monthly IRL and virtually to discuss the book of the month. Book Club FAQs.
MARCH'S YA BANNED BOOK CLUB PICK: Felix Ever After
Felix Love has never beeninlove—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after.
MARCH'S WILD CARD CLUB PICK: Honey Girl
With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She’s a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that.
MARCH'S FICTION BOOK CLUB PICK: The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions
The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a beloved queer utopian text written by Larry Mitchell with lush illustrations by Ned Asta, published by Calamus Press in 1977. Part-fable, part-manifesto, the book takes place in Ramrod, an empire in decline, and introduces us to the communities of the faggots, the women, the queens, the queer men, and the women who love women who are surviving the ways and world of men.
MARCH'S NONFICTION CLUB PICK: Nothing Ever Just Disappears
An exploration of artistic freedom, survival, and the hidden places of the imagination, including James Baldwin in Provence, JosephineBaker inParis, Kevin Killian in San Francisco, and E. M. Forster in Cambridge, among other groundbreaking queer artists of the twentieth century.

A Bit About Us
Queer artists haven't been given the spotlight they deserve for far too long.
We founded The Little Gay Shop to change that.
Our shop gives members of the LGBTQIA+ community a platform to showcase their work and receive the recognition and compensation they deserve.
Art should be accessible to everyone. Let's make that happen.
