One of the nation's few book festivals celebrating LGBTQIA+ authors and stories is back this weekend. Little District Books, D.C.'s all-queer independent bookstore, is organizing Lavender Con on Saturday and Sunday with a variety of authors and an artisan market.
The event schedule includes panels on Sapphic love in fiction, self-publishing, representation of bisexuality and pansexuality in fiction and the fun of queer rom-coms. The festival's "Queer + Bookish Market" features eight artisans, "bookish creators" and LGBTQIA+ organizations.
