FY Lesbian Literature!

For literature about anyone who doesn't identify as a man and is romantically and/or sexually attracted to others who don't identify as men (not necessarily exclusively). Also, for pictures of said people with books.

This definition includes lesbians, but also bisexual or pansexual women and genderqueer people.

This is a trans*-, genderqueer-, asexual-, intersex-, bisexual-, pansexual-, and queer-friendly tumblr, or at least tries to be (feel free to tell me off if it isn't).

I also run the lesbian book blog The Lesbrary and my personal tumblr is danikathelesbrarian.

Please submit anything that's included in this definition. If not, expect a lot of Willow & Tara from Buffy and Xena & Gabrielle with literature spam.

Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme recognized in 2012 Stonewall Book Awards

We love librarians (and lesbrarians). A lot. They’re defenders of intellectual freedom and they work hard to keep our libraries stocked with queer and trans literature.

So naturally we were super delighted to find out that the American Library Association named Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme an Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award Honor Book as part of the 2012 Stonewall Book Awards (which recognize English-language works of exceptional merit relating to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender experience).

Thanks, American Library Association! Thanks, librarians!
