i don’t want to read lgbtq fiction i want to read genre fiction with lgbtq protags
alright friends i was thinking about this earlier and so i put together a list of some good genre fiction with lgbt main characters:
LESBIAN
- the abyss surrounds us by emily skrutskie (sci fi/dystopian, woc protag)
- ascension by jacqueline koyanagi (sci fi/space opera, disabled woc protag)
- serenity rose by aaron alexovich (paranormal graphic novel)
- everything leads to you by nina lacour (contemporary, but not “about” lgbt issues/coming out/anything like that)
- afterworlds by scott westerfeld (contemporary/paranormal, woc protag)
- beauty queens by libba bray (not sure on the genre; not sure how good this is, haven’t read it myself)
- sword of the guardian by merry shannon (fantasy; warning for attempted rape scene)
- huntress by malinda lo (fantasy, woc protag)
- the dark wife by sarah diemer (fantasy)
- seven by jennifer diemer (fantasy/fairy tale retelling)
- bleeding earth by kaitlin ward (horror/fantasy; haven’t read this either, not sure how it is)
GAY
- proxy by alex london (dystopian, moc protag)
- more than this by patrick ness (dystopian i guess? not sure how to describe the genre tbh)
- the star host by ft lukens (sci fi, haven’t read)
- hero by perry moore (superhero)
BISEXUAL
- god’s war by kameron hurley (post-apocalyptic/sci fi, bi woc protag)
- coda by emma trevayne (dystopian, bi guy protag)
- adaptation by malinda lo (sci fi, bi girl protag)
- beauty queens by libba bray (see above, major bi characters)
- ash by malinda lo (fantasy/fairy tale retelling, bi girl protag)
- the young elites by marie lu (fantasy, lots of bi characters all around)
- the scorpion rules by erin bow (dystopian, bi girl protag, haven’t read but i hear it’s awesome)
TRANS
- beauty queens by libba bray (see above, major trans woman characters (i think))
- the left hand of darkness by ursula k le guin (fantasy; haven’t read this either, not sure how it is)
- love in the time of global warming by libba bray (dystopian; haven’t read this one either yikes)
that’s all i’ve got right now! i’m a lesbian so the lesbian section has the most books in it lol, but if anyone else wants to add some more books for gbt people (especially trans because Yikes that section is small), that would be awesome!
