Gay Through Literature
my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.
*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

yooo i love how comprehensive this list is!
thank you!! for the most part, it is primarily poetry and the like. i will admit there's currently a lack of black queerness, but!! i am on the lookout for anything i am missing.
This is amazing!! Is the criteria any queer author/book? One potential addition is Oscar Wilde. Maybe his selected poems (or at least ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’).
yess!! either it being about queerness or being made by queer author
thank you :)) i need to get back to this list and add more poetry i found, but ill add Oscar's work on top of that!! cheers!
It's such a great list, thanks for your hard work!!
