A masterlist of queer fiction books which can be sorted and filter by preferences such as genre, age group, representation, and romantic pairing.

Now seems like a great time to reshare my LGBTQIA+ masterlist. 3,200+ books with a queer MC, that you can filter and search by multiple preferences, such as genre, target age group, representation, pairing, and additional tags like "dragons" #booksky

I would honestly love for reporters to actually push back on Julie Soto when she says that fanfic is an act of resistance, because what is her nazi sex slave fanfic resisting? Also extremely disappointed that you didn't mention JKR funding the court case that ruled transwomen aren't women

I just think it's funny that there's not one, not two, but three modern-day graphic novel retellings of Anne of Green Gables... and they're all queer.

Friend of my family. She lives a county over & works for a nonprofit housing program that does a ton with Section 8 & other federal funding.

My upstairs neighbor has been learning to play piano & guitar, also learning to sing. We can hear her very clearly. It was a little rough when we first moved in, because, well, she was in middle school and her room is right above ours.
