\u2022 “Think about it: gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people were almost completely invisible in the movies or on television, or even in newspapers and magazines. It wasn\u2019t until LGBT people started producing their own media that we started to see consistent, positive images.

So when the queer bookstore disappears, where else can you find 40+ years of LGBT culture? (Hint: it\u2019s not on Netflix.)” Ken White<\/a> on starting Query Books<\/a> and republishing classic LGBT literature.<\/p>\n
