Gay's the Word

Established in 1979, the pioneering Gay's the Word is the only dedicated LGBT+ bookshop in the UK, and features in the superb gays-and-minders movie Pride. Stock covers fiction, history and biography, as well as more specialist holdings in queer studies, sex and relationships, children, and parenting. In addition to regular author readings and book-signings (think Adam Mars-Jones, Armistead Maupin, Neil Bartlett, Clare Summerskill), there are weekly lesbian and monthly trans discussion groups.
