Doused in colorful paint and unmistakably belonging to independent bookseller ShopQueer, the Rainbow Book Bus stands out in the residential Altadena street where it was built. Its message needs little explanation, let alone during Pride month.
"It started as such a dream," said Adam Powell, who runs ShopQueer alongside his partner Eric Cervini. "With everything going on in the world, we thought, 'What can we do?'"
"We've been working with an incredible trans architect who helped design and build the entire inside of the bus. The outside was designed by an incredible non-binary designer and Latino artist in New York," said Cervini. "It was written in 1956-- an openly gay Black man writing about a gay love story in Paris in the 1950s," said Cervini while referencing the bravery required of authors then, and today.
Powell and Cervini are trying to create a space where people can escape, while staying rooted in reality. Surveillance cameras line the bus' exterior.
