Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Gay & Lesbian Characters in MG
Because the LBTQIA experience encompasses so much, I wanted to be able to focus on pulling out different parts to fit into the alphabet challenge. So for today’s letter – “G” I’m focusing on gay and lesbian characters. Not all the books will feature protagonists that identify as gay or lesbian, but as with each book list, I want to provide a wide range of titles and experiences.
- The Best Man by Richard Peck
- Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World by Ashley Herring Blake
- Drama by Raina Telgemeier
- Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle
- One True Way by Shannon Hitchcock
- P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy
- The Whispers by Greg Howard
- Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson
- Drum Roll, Please by Lisa Jenn Bigelow
I’m spending the month of April promoting diversity in children and young adult literature as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Stop by every day for a new list of titles! Also, check out other bloggers who are participating by heading over at the Blogging From A to Z website!
