A collection of stories tracing how queer people have built communities, challenged norms, and preserved their histories. The post Reading for LGBTQ+ History Month appeared first on JSTOR Daily.
October is LGBTQ+ History Month, observed in the United States since 1994. Many other countries also celebrate and study LGBTQ+ history in October, so we’ve collected some of our most popular stories on a range of topics—from transgender legal battles to cookbooks—that highlight the histories of the LGBTQ+ community. As always, links to free JSTOR scholarship are included with each story.
Editor’s Note: This list is periodically updated. The most recent update was October 1, 2026.
