I am Bek (they/them) and this is one of my ongoing TBRs. The books on this list focus on LGBT+ history, mostly in the United States. This is a non-fiction list that includes history books, memoirs, and some social science and gender/sexuality studies books.

I will be filming updates as I finish the books on my TBR or as I find more to add to the list. I am looking to add a few that look more specifically at bisexual/mulisexual identity history as well as asexuality.

I am Bek (they/them) and this is a list of books that I would like to read about the criminal justice system in the US. This covers topics including race, gender, sexuality, and more. Most of this is focused on the United States, though a few of the books do touch on some global issues as well. (Captions under construction)

I am Bek (they/them) and in this video, I talk about some media that you can enjoy this LGBTQ+ History Month. There are several documentaries, a couple of podcasts, and (of course) books! Many of these books I have read parts or chapters of (due to the way I was researching, a lot of these books I found through chapters that I read via the library catalogue online) though some, I have completed as well. They are all great ways to learn more about queer history this month and every month.
