PRIDE is an inclusive club comprising Audible’s LGBTQ employees and their supporters. Its aim is to engage, learn about, and celebrate topics that promote the community’s issues and interests; to offer a safe place for those who identify (or who are becoming comfortable identifying) with the LGBTQ community; and to promote respect and goodwill for Audible’s LGBTQ employees by openly and positively engaging with fellow colleagues.
They are, of course, total audiobook mavens who love sharing recommendations. Here’s what PRIDE has been listening to and loving lately:
Our Coleen first got a copy of this book in the goodie bag at the GLAAD Media Awards in NYC. The premise interested her, as did their endorsement. She didn’t have time to read it, so she got the audiobook and was transfixed by Johnny Heller’s narration. Set in the ’90s, this is the true story of an art director by day who transforms into a drag queen by night, wearing a bra with fishbowl cups that actually have water and goldfish in them. This story was also fascinating to her because they likely crossed paths at megaclubs like The Tunnel. However, this book is riveting because it shows the dark underbelly of the colorful Club Kid scene as the author descends into drug addiction.
