Vancouver
Launched almost 40 years ago as one of the only LGBTIQ+ bookshops in Canada, Little Sister's is a bazaar of queer-positive tomes, plus magazines, clothing and toys of the adult type. If this is your first visit to Vancouver, it's a great place to network with the local 'gayborhood.' Check the notice boards for events and announcements from the community.
There are also occasional events in the store, including launches and author readings.
