Queer bookstores have long been more than just places to buy books, serving as cultural hubs, safe havens, and essential spaces for connection, representation, and affirmation within the LGBTQ+ community. As we navigate an increasingly hostile political landscape, building and sustaining these spaces is not only an act of resistance, but one of resilience and solidarity.
In this episode, Greg Newton and Donnie Jochum, co-founders of the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division (the Bureau), join us to explore what it takes to create and maintain queer infrastructure, how the Bureau continues to provide a platform for storytelling and connection, and what the future holds for this essential community space.
