When searching the collections for books and more try these Library of Congress Subject Headings searches.  

This is not a complete list of Library of Congress Subject headings, but a list intended to get your searches started. Also note that these terms may not use the language that you are normally accustomed to and may seem outdated; they are the terms selected by the Library of Congress to arrange materials under a single subject heading and do not necessarily reflect how the LGBTQA community describes themselves.
