May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), a day to stand up against the discrimination the LGBTIQA+ community still endures. It's also a time for LGBTIQA+ individuals to celebrate themselves and their community, and for allies to show solidarity and commitment to a safer, more inclusive world.
We’ve put together these booklists that highlight LGBTIQA+ characters, stories, history and issues. You can also browse our collections to explore inclusion all year round.
