Recs if you like Nubia: Real One...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Fiction and nonfiction talking about the intricacies of queer parenting, children's novels with queer parents, memoirs, and adult fiction. Recs always welcome

Since comics can be a bit overwhelming to break into, I present a collection of (mostly) graphic novels to satisfy your superhero kick.

Mostly Marvel & DC properties, but open to other superhero (or villains) as well

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

I love YA. It can suck pretty bad when the books try to copy each other. But when some of those gems pop up...wowza! Who knew you could tell such a hard-hitting story without having to resort to 1,000 pages & sex?
