Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated in June each year to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. The purpose of this commemorative month is to acknowledge the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
With over half of book bans targeting books with LGBTQ themes, it is more important than ever that these books have a presence in our classroom libraries, both as windows and mirrors for our students. Below you'll find books featuring queer characters (many of them written by queer authors), recommended by middle and high school ELA teachers, for you to feature in your classroom library.
Below each book you'll find the Instagram handle of the person recommending the book with a link to their recommendation.
