Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month With These Must-Haves
From art and books that tell our history to apparel and decorations that display our pride, Amazon has everything you need to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month.
October is LGBTQ+ History Month, which means that it’s time to reflect on the progress we have made as a community and the people who fought so hard to get us to where we are. We have so much more to fight for today, and honoring our history and struggle helps us remember just how much more we need to do. Show off the pride you have in our history with decorations of historical photographs of Gay Liberation to adorn your walls. Wear apparel that honors LGBTQ+ history. Read up on everything you need to know about our fight for equality with one of our book suggestions. And attend all the LGBTQ+ History Month events you can to connect with the community, wearing or waving a Progress Pride Flag. No matter how you celebrate, Amazon has what you need to make the most of the month.
Below you’ll find a selection of various LGBTQ+ history products on Amazon that our editors recommend. Check them out and remember to always honor your history.
The editors of equalpride who publish this site selected these products and equalpride may earn a small affiliate share if you purchase which helps push our voice to more LGBTQ+ and increase print magazines to counter banned printed books.
LGBTQ+ History Wall Art
Our history has created a lot of icons, people who have fought tirelessly to earn the LGBTQ+ community the respect and progress we've made so far. Celebrate those icons with the LGBTQ+ Leaders Posters that feature such icons as Marsha P. Johnson and Bayard Rustin with quotes that continue to inspire us all.
Marsha P. Johnson was a major figure in Gay Liberation, representing drag queen supporters who were fighting for their community and the LGBT community at large. Even though she was not welcomed, Marsha wouldn't back down, inspiring generations of queers to keep fighting. Honor her with the Marsha P. Johnson Aesthetic Black and White Poster that features an image of Marsha smoking a cigarette while holding a protest sign.
Along with Marsha P. Johnson was Sylvia Rivera, another outspoken activist who fought for her place during Gay Liberation. Featured in the Marsha P. Johnson Sylvia Rivera Poster, the two icons are seen marching together in protest. This photograph will imbue any wall with the pride of these two fighters.
It's time to put 'GAY PRIDE' all over your home. Featuring a photograph of a Gay Liberation Front protest, the Fine Art Aesthetics Gay Liberation Front Poster features a crowd of supporters with a large gay pride banner that makes a bold statement.
There's nothing more rousing than a protest flier, igniting you to step outside of yourself for your community. As a reminder of that, the Gay Liberation Front Flier Poster features a vintage flier on canvas to display on your walls. Come out and continue honoring our history!

LGBTQ+ History Books
There's a lot that comes with LGBTQ+ history, but the most well-known event that most people can recall is the Stonewall uprising.

Find out all of the little aspects that lead to the uprising and the events that preceded it, and fall into our history.
Speaking of how well-known Stonewall is, there's a lot of LGBTQ+ history that isn't widely known. A lot of people still believe that Gay Liberation started with Stonewall. But as we know, there's a lot that happened before Stonewall that helped progress our rights. The Deviant's War: The Homosexual vs. the United States of America by LGBTQ+ Historian Eric Cervini uncovers everything you need to know about our fight, helping us all honor the unspoken heroes of our liberation.

Susan Stryker, trans historian and filmmaker, has helped expose trans history to a broader audience, uncovering The Compton Cafeteria Riots that preceded Stonewall. In Transgender History, Susan Stryker takes readers into the history and fight of the transgender community, providing much-needed facts and stories of a community who is still facing violence and persecution from the world.
With public education continuing to ban the teaching of LGBTQ+ history across the country, it's time to teach students ourselves, sharing our history in a way that kids will enjoy.
