GAYLETTER

We checked out the opening of the BGSQD (Bureau of General Services Queer Division) pop-up store on the Lower East Side, last Thursday night, and we knew immediately we had to write it up. It struck us as we browsed through the awesome collection of Queer books and zines, that there aren’t any gay-themed bookstores left in NYC. I know you can still buy queer lit on the net, but let’s be honest there’s nothing like browsing touching the real thing in a store filled with all sorts of literature curated just for you. BGSQD was set up to give the fags of New York that exact experience. It’s a place to purchase queer books, magazines, art works, and it’s also an event space. Over the next few months they’ll be hosting a bunch of interesting affairs from readings by Eminent Outlaws author, Christopher Bram to I’m from Driftwood contributors reading stories from the site’s recently published book. The store is open everyday except Monday, through Jan 2013. It’s the perfect place to pick up some Xmas presents for your fam. Some queer knowledge would do your mother good.  —tom
