Lambda Rising began serving the GLBT community in 1974 and was quickly recognized as a leader in our literary, political and social world. For three decades, we have made the finest GLBT literature available to all, as well as music, videos, magazines and gifts. At the same time, we have supported non-profit groups, promoted performers, sheltered youth, encouraged communication, and fought discrimination. Lambda Rising has always worn two hats: both as a responsible business and a dedicated community resource. Our pledge to you is that we will continue that dual role online, just as we do in our brick and mortar stores.
