Rainbow Reading Club: YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN

Rochester LGBTQ+ Together’s Rainbow Reading & Book Club meets virtually on 3rd Tuesdays monthly at 6:00pm! Every other month alternates between a general reading discussion and an LGBTQ+ book pick discussion. 18+. This is a place to socialize with other LGBTQ+ and ally readers to share the different things you’re all reading individually, as well as to share in the reading experience of the same book, more like a traditional book club.

2026 Book Selections and Reading Schedule:

January 20: I Wish You All The Best (2019) by Mason Deaver
March 17: Giovanni’s Room (1956) by James Baldwin
May 19: Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature (2025) by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian

Whether you’ve attended before or not, we hope you’ll join us in the future to make new friends, share in the joy of reading, and celebrate LGBTQ+ authors and literature together!
