Beskrivning
-
For a long time, you couldn’t find LGBTQ+ literature in Stockholm’s regular bookstores. That’s why queer bookshops became important – not just for books, but as spaces for identity, activism, and community.
Rosa Rummet started as a book table at RFSL in the early 80s. When RFSL moved, some of the lesbian staff opened Medusa, a bookstore focused on feminist and lesbian literature. In 2006, Hallongrottan opened in Hornstull. Part bookshop, part hangout, it hosted readings, ping pong and political discussions. The shop closed in 2013, but if you walk along Bergsundsgatan, the sign is still there.
