8 Queer Books That Changed How I See Love + 2 Classic Must Reads | Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 🏳️‍🌈

💖 Today I’m sharing 8 queer books that completely reshaped how I think about love — romantic, platonic, messy, joyful, and everything in between. And I’m also highlighting 2 timeless queer classics that I'll be focusing on this pride month that you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

These books span Greek mythology, university dorms, space programs, post-apocalyptic survival, and even a 24-hour love story — but they all have one thing in common: they made me feel. Hard.
