2021 Top Ten Gay Romance edited by J.M. Snyder In the image are two men, at a wedding. Both are wearing off-white suits, white shirts and wine-red bowties - they are getting married. One man is sitting and the other is standing, holding a red rose in his right hand. The man who is sitting is holding the hand of the man standing behind him. They are staring at each other, smiling. The man who is standing has very pale brown skin, almost beige, and short straight black hair with gray at the temples. He is cleanshaven. The man who is sitting has pale white skin, dark brown hair cut short on the sides and longer on top, and neat facial hair.

I'm going to participate in #historathon2026 - which is a laid back reading challenge to read at least one non-fiction book each quarter of 2026 around different time periods

Jan-March = Prehistory-500 CE
April-June = 500-1500
July-Sept = 1500-1820
Oct-Dec = 1820-Present

In 2025 reading queer books shouldn’t be an act of defiance, but it is. Read queer book.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.
