20 Must-Read Happy Queer Books for Pride

"Do you need a little queer joy in your reading life this Pride month? Maybe you want to read a fun sci-fi space adventure where no one dies. Maybe you're craving a YA novel sans homophobia. Maybe you're looking for that elusive queer memoir that's uplifting and celebratory, that focuses on queer joy rather than queer suffering. Whatever styles and genres you enjoy most, you deserve to kick back with some happy queer books.
Everybody has their own ideas about what counts as a feel-good read or a comfort book. Your definition of happy queer books might be different from mine. The books on this list are a mix of fluff and fun. They're all on the lighter side. They are not devoid of conflict entirely, but they're not rife with it. They celebrate queerness. There's little to no queer suffering. Nobody dies."
