As someone who identifies as option C, I noticed a lack of LGBTQIA+ book recommendations on social media and when LGBTQIA+ books were recommended they almost always consisted of 5 Achillean books and one sapphic book thrown in for good measure and they were almost always the same 6 books thrown around.
So I created lgbtqiabooksmasterlist.com and scoured the internet to find as many books that contained LGBTQIA+ themes and characters and put them all together in one giant masterlist, sectioned off by community.
For our US-based queers in conservative spaces and places, QLL membership is available nationwide ❤️
