Our Favorite (Sexiest) Queer Stories

The Bothered Blog by Allison Whaley

June 2026

It's pride month! And one of the things I'm exceptionally proud of is the queer stories on our site. Inclusivity and representation are a core part of the Bothered Stories mission (we publish a queer story in every newsletter!), which translates to an array of beautiful, sexy stories to choose from.

Below are some of my favorites. May your Pride month be joyful, fun, and hot as ever.
