LGBTQIA+ literary fiction
The only queer & GNC lists/quests Iβve seen have been genre. I love them, but I wanted to also curate a list of literary fiction with LGBTQIA+ characters and themes!

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.
The PI in AAPI!
Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!
The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.
Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!
I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!
Suggestions are always welcome!
