Okay so, the whole experience here was just SO AMAZING, I don't even know where to begin. I've never been to a queer store before, so this one just completely blew me away. The inside is really neatly arranged, and there are books from various different genres, both in German and English. They also have movies, magazines, pins, flags, stickers, kids books, hardcovers and so on. And in one of the corners there's this really cute table where you can just sit and browse books. The guy working there (possibly the owner?) was really super sweet and just so clever and interesting, and took his time to talk to me about some topics related to lgbtq+ history and helped me locate some very interesting books, of which I ended up buying "Gay Berlin". He also managed to dig out a straight ally flag that I got for my friend, and just overall took me around the store to show me all the things they had. I'm really so grateful that he completely just normalized this experience so to say, considering I was kind of nervous visiting a store like this, especially as I'm coming from a very conservative country. Next time I'm in Vienna, I'm FOR SURE coming back to the store haha. Loved it so much and hope to be back here again one day!
