The show is over but the pride still goes on… Huge thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable—our incredible visitors, vendors, drag artists, and of course, the four amazing authors who graced us with their words (@savethekitrosewater @arsen.prose @bonniestufflebeam @erinseaotter ). 🙌 Queer literature is more than just stories—it’s a celebration of identity, a source of strength, and a vital space for voices that deserve to be heard. Today, we stand together because these stories matter. They challenge, they inspire, and they empower us to embrace who we are and who we’re meant to be. 💖 Let’s keep celebrating, reading, and pushing boundaries. Queer stories are here to stay. If you enjoyed the PRIDE Book fair 2025 and want to support us, the best thing you can do is to take the time to actually read, share these stories on social media, or support the authors by purchasing and appreciating their work. THANK YOU! 💜 Photo credit: @bethsymonsphotography #carabinercollectionsbryantx #pridebookfair #lgbtqbooks
