Here are a few resources Sarah recommends for learning more about LGBTQ+ history. The audience for all of these is adults unless it is noted as kid-friendly.

 

Books

Far too many to list! Sarah has compiled a list of all the 300+ ones she knows of here. All of the 50+ children’s books on LGBTQ+ history she knows of are here. It depends entirely on what you’re looking for. Feel free to tweet her or email her to ask for a specific recommendation. (Her books are here.)

 

Podcasts
