LGBTQ+ Pride Month Book Picks and Cosmetic Trends

A selection of new titles is being promoted for Pride month, featuring memoirs and narratives that explore queer identity, family, and love. Highlights include Juda Bennett's "Qtopia: A Memoir of Love, Land, and Liberation," Chad Anderson's graphic memoir "Gay Mormon Dad," Joseph Osmundson's "Spawning Season: An Experiment in Queer Parenthood," and Brad Gooch's "Good Morning Moon: A Snapshot of an American Family." These books are suggested as reading material to accompany Pride celebrations.

At the same time, a men's aesthetic clinic reports a surge in cosmetic and sexual‑wellness procedures ahead of Pride. Popular treatments include penis filler (GirthFill) and scrotum filler (ScroFill) using hyaluronic‑acid injections, as well as anal Botox (HoleTox) to relax the sphincter for more comfortable receptive sex. The clinic notes significant year‑over‑year growth in appointments and revenue for these services during the Pride season.
