Why it matters: Fabulosa is an LGBTQ-owned bookshop in the heart of the Castro, and it runs Books Not Bans, a program that ships queer titles to schools and youth groups in places where such books are being banned. Nearly half the shelves are given over to LGBTQ+ authors and themes, many of them local writers. Browse for both bestsellers and offbeat treasures, and check the calendar for regular author talks.
