It’s summertime, and many families are about to spend a whole lot more time together than they do during the rest of the year. What better time to search out the best LGBTQ+ audiobooks for the whole family? Road trips, days by the pool, and even sweltering afternoons hunkered down in the AC can all be improved by an excellent audiobook playing in the background.
Why LGBTQ+ audiobooks? Whyever not? My own kids are moving out of middle school and into the nebulous teenage world. Through their stories and the conversations they report overhearing, I’m confronted with an uncomfortable truth. For all our “progress,” human beings often default to small minds, and the need to normalize some people being themselves and other people minding their business is not going to go away. LGBTQ+ books (and representation) are crucial for queer kids and families, but they are needed as windows into other worlds for all kids, full stop. So make it easy: listen to one of these books with the fam this summer! They’re great for everyone.
