Gay's the Word
While you may instinctively reach for Amazon or Waterstones, we urge you to visit your local bookshop instead. For those of you visiting or if you live in London Gay's the Word bookshop is a must go to destination. Two minutes walk from Russell Square tube station, it's is the only specifically lesbian and gay book store in the UK. And here's your map. It recently appeared as a primary location in the film Pride which, BTW, we thought was rather good. Gay's the Word is also on Facebook with books, events and news.
When the shop was founded in 1979, gay books were not generally available in ordinary bookstores. From the beginning, the bookshop was used as a community and information resource for lesbians and gay men providing information on gay organisations and forthcoming events.
