OUTHOUSE BOOK CLUB: PRIDE EDITION!
We hope you’ll join us for our June Book Club on Wednesday, 18 June, at 6:00pm. Our theme for this month is Banned and Challenged Queer Books, in recognition of the importance of queer visibility, especially in literature.
To that end, we’ll be discussing This Book Is Gay by Juno Dawson.
Description:
Part manifesto, part guidebook, This Book Is Gay is a frank, funny, and deeply informative exploration of what it means to grow up LGBTQIA+. With insight, wit, and honesty, Juno Dawson tackles topics ranging from coming out and relationships to sex, stereotypes, and gender identity. First published in 2014, it has been frequently challenged and banned in schools and libraries—making it all the more urgent and powerful for us to read and discuss.
Whether you’re reading it for the first time or revisiting it, This Book Is Gay offers an affirming space to reflect, learn, and celebrate the diversity of queer experiences.
Title: This Book Is Gay
Authors: Juno Dawson
Length: ~288 pages

How does it work?
Once you have secured your ticket, it’s up to you to source a copy of this month’s book to read in time for the next Book Club session. See below for information on how you can find a copy of this month’s book.
Attendance is free, but space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot!
Tickets are limited to 1 per order. If you can no longer attend this event, please refund your ticket through your order confirmation email. Alternatively, you can contact Menzi at venue@outhouse.ie.
Where can I find copies of this month’s book?
This Book Is Gay is widely available in most bookshops and online retailers for €10–15. Don’t forget to check out the Outhouse Library to see if a copy is available there!
Pride Quiz!
To make the evening even more festive, we’ll be hosting a Pride-themed quiz after our discussion—so brush up on your queer history, pop culture, and literary trivia! There’ll be exciting prizes for the winning participants, so bring your competitive spirit (and maybe a friend or two!). We’ll also have some Pride-themed treats for everyone to enjoy – because what’s a celebration without a little something sweet? 🙂
Book Swap:
If you’d like to take part, simply bring a book of your choice on 18 June. If you’ve contributed before, there’s no pressure to bring another (unless you’d like to!). At the end of the evening, you can either reclaim your book or donate it to the Outhouse Library.
