Packed with relateable and sometimes surprising stories, you'll also find: Introductory material from Daniel Franzese ( Mean Girls, Looking, Party Monster) and Johnny Sibilly ( Pose, The Deuce, Liza on Demand) sets the tone for this fun, interactive guide all guncles will enjoy. But one thing that’s almost universal with the American family is the guncle! With the progress of social awareness in our society, there comes a new, ever-changing, diverse face of America. The family dynamic in the 21st century has become anything but typical. Gay uncles have become one of the most beloved family members (not to mention amazing role models), and National Guncles Day has even become a social media-approved holiday, inspiring adorable Instagram photo ops.

Add them all to your own TBR list, or pick up a handful as the perfect gift for the book-lover in your life.Īnd once you're done here, head on over to the GH Book Club to check out even more feel-good called it "The gay uncles' rule book we never knew we needed!" We've got something for fans of thrillers and crime, romance novels, humor, classics, brand-new releases and of course, literary fiction.

And just like the rest of the literary canon, these best LGBTQ+ books come in all genres. Įveryone deserves to see their lived experiences reflected and validated, and that's especially essential for young people or those who can't safely express their identity in their everyday lives. These books by gay, lesbian, trans and LGBTQ+ authors, as well as fantastic reads with characters who are part of the rainbow of identities the acronym encompasses, show us that our literary worlds can (and should!) be as beautifully diverse as the one we live in. But this largely corporate visibility during Pride month shouldn't be a 30-day limited engagement - instead, consider it an opportunity to expand the range of our media consumption all year long. For one colorful month, products as diverse as t-shirts to bagels are reimagined in a rainbow motif in a nod toward supporting (and earning money from) the LGBTQ+ community.


During Pride month, a lot of attention turns to LGBTQ+ culture, including its artists, creators and authors.
