I felt free and like I found a place I belonged. This is so sad…as a teenager I stood in that bookstore figuring out that I wasn’t the only girl In the world that felt that way.

I have visited every gay bookstore in every city I have visited and the loss of even one is depressing. Mainstream bookstores stock only a few titles, and don't stay up-to-date. But I fear this was inevitable, since people, especially the younger, are not reading much anymore. I buy pretty much every gay title published. I feel incomplete when I don't have a book in my hand. Amazon wins! Sad day! I have visited every gay bookstore in every city I have visited and the loss of even one is depressing. Mainstream bookstores stock only a few titles, and don’t stay up-to-date.
