Cool Richmond Gay Friendly Bookstores and Shops
Many local businesses, bookstores, thrift stores and shops serve as gathering places and support Richmond’s LGBT community. At Diversity Thrift, all proceeds from the store's sales are used to support the area’s Gay Community Center, which is located in the building. Stop by Phoenix Rising, the Region’s only GLBT bookstore. Now with two locations, Chop Suey has a tremendous selection of used books available to buy or trade. Visit Feathernesters -- featuring cool gifts, home and garden goods, and a charming tea room. Or buy a unique gift for your favorite friend at Mongrel, a quirky gift store well known for its eclectic birthday card selection and one-of-a-kind wares.
