I just want to wish everyone an acceptable wintervus and send hugs to those beeing deadnamed and misgendered by their families. I know this can be a difficult season for many of you, but freedom is just a few days away.

Hang in there!

I just caught our feral permanent house guest, Finch, stealing kitten food.

Overall, 2025 has been a strange year for LGBTQ+ culture, but thankfully it has been a somewhat banner year for queer and trans literature. We've been blessed with new releases from beloved LGBTQ+ authors like Torrey Peters, Bryan Washington, Ocean Vuong, and more — not to mention many exciting debuts that herald the arrival of some exciting new voices, many of them trans. In fact, there have been so many great LGBTQ+ books released this year that some of your faves are, inevitably, missing — but that's an amazing problem to have, if you ask us.

Without further ado, read on for some of our favorite LGBTQ+ books of 2025. — James Factora

i can only think of Boys Run the Riot (binary transguy), Wandering Son (binary transgal) and as of fifteen minutes ago this one linked called Inside Mari (interesting and problematic queercoded manga from a good faith author)

if you feel like aggregating some transgender media here like i welcome that too. Better Than Chocolate 1996 and Amanda Lear (80s pop musician) and Lily Alexandre for example

I should take taken a selfie because I wore a flag pole with the lgbt flag (🏳️‍🌈 this one) outside of the drag show in Pensacola and blocked all the street preacher signs. I had to dance to keep the flag waving and I ran across streets to make the flag wave.

It was a hilarious battle between protest of the drag queen and pro queen side. like the protestors actually came prepared. like they had carolers, megaphones, pamphlets, and signs. There was a hostile side and a side that was more gentle and promoting Christianity.

the side i was on with the pro drag show was me and another person just doing what we can and having some really unexpected allies just pop up, and actually getting a lot of love for carrying around the lbgt flag. I did my best to say that the drag show didn't get money from the government and simple the venue (it was an asspull at the time but I actually guess right), that my message to all the street preachers was that Jesus died for drag queens, and just dancing and smiling trying to come off as nice as possible to everyone.

the two unexpected allies that I remember were a motorcyclist revving his engine as loud as possible to the preacher with a hateful sign and a guy above the venue drowning out everyone including the preachers with his band equipment.

I did talk to one of the street preachers hoping it would only be about a good sandwich shop in p-cola, but it ended up with me telling them that I am gonna love drag queens and immigrants [like how Jesus intended us].

I'm not in the news coverage because i showed up as they left
