read a book that celebrates queer joy
With all of the anti-LGBTQIAP+ bills that have been passed recently, we want to celebrate queer joy! We know this might be a tricky one because it's not always clear from the synopsis if the book has queer joy and everyone has a different definition for it but ask a friend or check out some of the recommendation posts we've done and we're sure you'll find the perfect book for this challenge!
