Boy meets boy was an interesting book, I litterally just sat at the library for a few hours and finished it so I guess thats an option if you don't feel safe bringing lgbt books home? Also this book had a drag queen rivalry that was interesting to say the least

yes it was definitely an interesting read to me

Girls Like Me has a gay supporting character, the book was very good but he was literally a walking 'flambuyant gay' stereotype so I disliked that aspect.
This Would Make A Good Novel (I think was the name???), The Family Fletcher books, and The Lotteries +1 are all chapter books aimed at younger kids with lesbian, gay, and poly parents, respectively.
I haven't read them though so don't quote me on it.

@blue_topaz

I've heard that those are all good, and would also like to recommend Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit, which is a lesbian fiction
It has some issues and a bit of stereotyping but overall I really liked it

@spoder

Also I think Fans of the Impossible life - Kate Scelsa has a gay character, that’s about all I know about it,

@MissMia

Hi, There's an author i met called steph bowe, she's written a book called night swimming. it's kinda about a love triangle…

cool graphic novel called "the dressmaker"
got a genderqueer protag

@SaltyLasagna

It's not completely focused on LGBT, it's more about mental illness, but the main character being bisexual is a huge part of the plot, and him coming out is also pretty big. I've also got a gay character, a lesbian, and somebody who's aromantic (but not asexual)

@HighPockets group

Oooh it sounds compelling and good. I'd read it.

Going off of that, does anyone have advice on writing a character who is aro but not ace? Like, I want to show that just because they don't love someone romatically they also aren't just 'using them for sex'. This is especially hard since I'm asexual so like….sexual attraction who is that?

Don't feel like reading this SO Any super gay books out there I should read

I'm sad because no one's mentioned 'Symptoms of Being Human' by Jeff Garvin. It's about a gender fluid person trying to get through life and I really liked it.

"jess and chunk's road trip to infinity" It was alright, a little (read: a lot) cringey at times, but positive trans rep!
