Happy Pride Month! June, 2026 marks the 56th annual LGBTQ+ Pride tradition. The first Pride march in New York City was held on June 28, 1970 on the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan – a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States.
In celebration of Pride Month, we recommend the recent and acclaimed nonfiction, as well as queer classics, featured below. Please check out our Pride in Your Words website, an ever-expanding collection of books from queer authors, where you can also request a Pride in Your Words Zine digital issue. Enjoy!
