I could not put it down and cannot wait for book two to come out in fall 2026.

            In case it isn't obvious, this bookstore is unabashedly queer and strive to be a safe place. Special love to my queer siblings sitting in the closet who have intersecting marginalized identities. We dream of a future where we can all be safe as our fabulous, authentic selves. xoxo - Zo

            It might take time to find your people. Not everyone will respond the way you wish they would. Please know it is about them & their fear, not you. The queer community has a strong history of collective community care. We'll be here when you're ready.

            For my siblings in the closet: I wish the world was safer. I imagine it is scary to imagine coming out when the world feels as hostile as it does currently. Your fear is valid, and yet, I hope you will allow yourself to feel the unmitigated joy of being your authentic self within safe community.

            For my queer siblings who are out of the closet: may you continue to find strength and joy in your authentic queer selves. May you continue to find and deepen your community and chosen family. May you banish shame for being who you are and loving who you love. Live free, love fiercely.

            I'm sure there are experiences I missed out on by not coming out until later, but I've always believed that I needed to heal from abuse and other experiences I'd encountered as a young person before my mind and spirit could really process my transness or sexuality.

            A few years later, I'd come out as non-binary and trans. We are proud to be queer and are grateful to experience the authenticity, joy, and creativity that comes with being queer and out of the closet.

            Today is National Coming Out Day! I first came out as queer when I was 29 years old, which also happened to be when Trump took office the first time and days before I met my now-wife and business partner, Mags.

We hope you'll join us for a night of great book discussion and learning more about book bans here in Oregon and around the US and what we can do about it. We'll be selling some books and other goodies if that's your thing, too. #BookSky #Events #BannedBooksWeek

            It is officially Banned Books Week! The number of books that have been challenged over the last couple of years has been staggering, rivaling the censorship we saw in the 1950s during the Red Scare. We hope you'll join us this week in learning more about book bans and fighting back against them.
