I like this book store. They cater to the LGBT population and have a wide selection of queer books to choose from. It's a cute little shop on the second floor of an old Victorian home on the west side of Yonge St., just south of Wellesley St., packed floor to ceiling with gay content.
This was the first gay-oriented bookstore in Canada, and it remains one of the best. The shelves hold a sizable collection of gay and lesbian fiction, biography, and history books, and the offerings have expanded to include magazines, CDs, videos, calendars, posters, and cards.

Glad Day has been a touchstone for me ever since I first visited in Toronto. One of the few explicitly GLBT-themed bookstores left in North America, the bookshop has a vast selection of books both new and rare and a knowledgeable, helpful staff.
