[close] Welcome to Leiden Pride's Queer Book Club! Discovering yourself within the pages of queer books. Relating to the literary world at a more intimate level. Enjoying books and academia with fellow queers. During the corona crisis, the book club meets on Discord. Please send Carola a message if you don't have access to the Discord group yet! This book club meets in real life. Upon joining, you will be asked to provide your Facebook name so we can verify you're part of the book club.

[close] It can often be difficult to judge if something that has LGBTQ+ characters in it is actually an accurate representation of queer people. Whether it's a misunderstanding, anti-queer bias, or (god forbid) fetishization, a lot of media about queer people is overly sexualized, stereotyped, and/or generally offensive. Not to mention a lot of queer media erases bi, trans, genderqueer, and aromantic or asexual people, sometimes even mocking them. This prompted me to make Queerspace, a group for sharing wholesome queer media (whether it be books, movies, TV shows, etc.) as well as supporting LGBTQ+ people in general.
