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.
